As I said, the front header had a crack in the primary just above the
welding seam where the three tubes meet. There is no doubt in my mind that the
crack, and the general condition of the headers, were caused by the header wrap.Cracked Primary Repaired:

It's not what you'd call aesthetically pleasing, but it does the job and was free via a friend who built his own headers for his race car (8.80 sec. street legal '68 Camaro--parachute and all! BTW, this is one of the only sub 9 sec. cars around with less than 500 cid....at least in the V8 crowd. Mr. Saruwatri doesn't count :-) So, thanks to Felix!
After being prepped and coated, this header--and all of the pipes--look much better! See the pipes coated here.
