Look for the JBA or Patriot versions of these. Pertronix brands bought the DT trademark some time ago and these brands (JBA, Patriot, Dough Thorley) are now manufactured by the same supply chain. Here is the Executive Order for the JBA headers I bought for my first gen Sequoia. The 100 series version will probably have its owe EO# since I don't see it on this list.

Thanks for the info. I did a little digging but unfortunately came up empty. I spoke to someone at Pertronix and they informed me that they own "Doug's Headers", not "Doug Thorley Headers". Apparently they are two separate companies even though it was originally the same Doug.
Doug's wife got "Doug's Headers" in their divorce and I guess she sold to Pertronix. Doug then started "Doug Thorley Headers" who, to my knowledge, are the only ones that are/were manufacturing headers for the 100 series here in the US. The Pertronix brand "Doug's Headers" never made any. I can't get ahold of DT to confirm if they're still making them or not but there's a recent thread where someone posted a letter from them stating they stopped production so my guess is they're unavailable now. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/doug-thorley-thy-561-ss-c.1374510/
If anyone has a set of DT headers they don't want, I'll buy 'em from ya!
You should hit up Keith at Dirty Deeds exhaust. He just did a batch of 100 series long tube headers based on the JBA specs. Not sure if he’s sold out yet, but you can try giving him a call.
