Default 68 camaro headers

Can someone steer me into which set of headers fit on a 68 camaro big block with standard trans/ power steering.
I would like some sort of coated style to help keep the heat down as much as possible.

Thanks
Ted

Lemons Headers are nice.
Tip: BBC with raised exhaust ports will require different headers than a stock port location port head.

I currently have Hedman 68190, that is 1-3/4" tubes and 3" collectors.
I used them in both my 68 and 69 Camaro with a 396 and had no issues with clearance.
Now if you need larger tubes, because of the motor size, I have seen some headers that had the one tube by the steering box, banged up pretty bad.
Most all header companies now off some type of thermal coating, but I just use the steel headers and when needed, use a BBQ grill type paint to recoat them.

Call Summit racing and ask them...I just did that because a switched to a T5 and the shortys and long tube headmans. I have do not fit...they sold me a set of ceramic coated Patriot headers. Very nice pieces that fit perfectly. I too have power steering and power brakes. The patriots hug the block a little more and with a big block your going to need it. Oh yeah..about $370 bucks for the small block version.
