i bought my car with headers already installed . its my first personal experience with them and it will likely be my last . the danged things drag the road on the left side .(its 2 inches longer, hanging down then the right side ) its a pain to change plugs,starter ,transmission cant even do a compression check on some cyclinders and i dont know what else yet .for street use i am just not sure of there worth . a set of shorty blockhugger style maybe ,but no more long collector tubes for me .
when this set goes its likley cast manifolds go back on . mike -

Kevin yes you will need to drill the hole .you may find a dimple inthe floor where to drill but not always the case . i ll look at a floor pan but i only have autos myself . in the past i have found the dimlpe ona couple of gms i ve changed though . mike

Glad to hear they look good . and the price is great . i was just today pricng those from a different vendor at 129.00 each . what a deal . mike

hiya Kevin sounds like a lot of fun coming your way when you go shopping for flywheel they come in a couple different sizes . also youll need to know if engine is 86 up or pre 86 the flywheel has different size bolt pattern for crankshaft . another thing is if you are running a 400s/b thats another flywheel because of external balancing . so hope this helps you out . mike

The bolt that Clock is talking about in the front of engine should only be about 1/2 -3/4 inch long . if you want to try that method you will need a longer 3/8 -16 bolt to install in its place . and yes be sure to put the original one back in. good luck

Hello McCall72 I believe that your problem with the brake lite in the dash is turned on by the BRAKE DISTIBUTION SWITCH . aka (proportioning valve ). this is not uncommon when the system has been serviced. the switch needs to be reset.to reset the switch apply moderate presure to the brake pedal. this should equalize the presure differential and clear the lite .if not you may try to bleed the whole system again .also be sure to check that the emergency brake is not partially set and causing the lamp to burn. i hope this helps you McCall . this procedure should be in most auto repair manuals mike
