Headers for 71 Newport

Hey C-bodiers! Anyone know a set of headers that will work with my ’71 Newport w/angle plug heads? It has stock exhaust manifolds. Would HP manifolds be as good as headers? Does anyone have anything for sale?

I hear reformulated gas is murder on carbs. Anything I can do to offset the damaging effects of RFG? The nearest station with real gas is 40 miles away

496 Stroker carb

Hey guys and gals!I just got a 71 Newport Custom 4dr. It has a 496 Stroker with built racing trans. 410 Posi. The motor seems to be detonating when stabbing the throttle at cruising speed(2k rpms). The car came with an 800 cfm edelbrock. Is this enough…
