Then you don't understand apt-cache.

apt-cache performs a variety of operations on APT's package cache.
apt-cache does not manipulate the state of the system but does provide
operations to search and generate interesting output from the package
metadata.

If you have up to date package lists, which includes stable, testing
& unstable, you would see it. Your OP didn't mention what you were
running so.....
I am running testing and apt-cache does show what you are looking for
is available.
VT1 root-3-Buddy:~# apt-cache search kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386
kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386 - Linux kernel headers 2.6.7 on 386

So include testing and unstable sites in your sources.list and you to
will be able to apt-get the kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386 package.
If, by your question, "Where can I find the above for download" you
meant which site, then I would have suggested you try Google.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
