i don't remember the part number, but AutoZone/O'Reilly's/NAPA or BillyBob's Junk shop can all look them up at the counter.
i've run 2 sets over the last 10yrs on my truck just fine... just get the actual AC Delco ones (or maybe Delphi... whichever ones were OEM).

There really isn't any reason to spend $1000 dollars on headers. Even TSP ones you can get ceramic coated for about $300 from JetHot or your ceramic coating vendor of choice.
For plug wires, I use Taylor 61045's. Zero issues.
For boot protectors, I use the ones found on Amazon. No need to spend big $$ on these.

Texas speed headers and Speed Engineering headers fit and work excellent. No reason to spend more than those cost.
I have the speed engineering on mine and they are great.
One big thing I would recommend is to replace the engine mounts. They will be worn at 212k miles and when they are they cause the headers to have clearance issues.
I recommend going with factory new mounts

Saw plug wires mentioned. With my speed engineering headers only 1 plug wire is even close to touching the header, but does not technically touch. It's just very close, all other 7 have plenty of room.
I always go with MSD wires with headers since you can bend the boot away from the header and it will stay where ever you bend it to. Don't know if any other plug wires do this, the OEM ones and standard replacements don't. Heat boots are just as expensive as a set of wires so I just buy wires that make it to where I don't need the heat boots.
