I CAN recommend this stuff: http://tinyurl.com/q2z9tod 

Can be sprayed on bare metal (no priming needed) and holds up better than 
paint.

----- Original Message -----



This is a really interesting survey, but what about paint? I have a set of mild 
steel headers that I plan to put on a bugeye I'm restoring. I don't really want 
to leave them bare, and I was planning on painting them with high-temp paint. 

On a slightly different note, my experience with heat and rough running in my 
BT7 is exactly the same as Bob's. I have come to accept that it is 'normal' 
behavior for these cars although I've always wondered about wrapping the the 
exhaust manifold to decrease the heat load on the carbs.
