Header question

RustyRatRod said
If I remember right, the torsion bars run just outside the headers, but they are CLOSE.

Yep, close enough that with 1.03 bars you might as well dent them for clearance now.:D
On my car that style of header caused a buzz on deceleration from touching the torsion bar.

The only hint/help I can give from here is to raise the car up as high as possible, then figure out a way to raise it another foot.

Or put the driver side in before the engine.

Yep, instructions for that type says raise the car 36 inches and install from underneath.
Also got to take the oil filter off, and even possibly tilt the motor to the drivers side.

I'm a little concerned about the plugs with these headers they look like they are gonna be super hard to get to.

The back two plugs (5&7) it works best to put the plug socket on the plug first and the extension on the socket after.
Gotta reach under the high back tube to put the socket on and get the plugs back in.
Also, do yourself a favor and use Remflex gaskets the first time.:D

Fifty years ago,they used to cost less than $99 bucks .... so you just installed new ones every winter.
Do yourself a favor and do not use slanty T-bars, and do use 340 bars or better, 1.03s are NOT too big. Plus HD shocks. If you use smaller bars, it helps to put the battery in the trunk.
Otherwise;
when traversing speed bumps, if your speed is wrong; POW!, yur fixing a pinched tube again.
And yeah, leave the front rideheight at stock. If you "need" attitude, get it in the back.The nice thing about TTI's and speed bumps is; you can hit 'em hard to get air, but you'll need some torque, or TM (TorqueMultiplication), or both,lol. I like smashing over them whenever I see a tuner-car crabbing over one. Yeah, I can be a dick; Hear my dual 3inchers roar!

If you go fast enough you won't crunch anything on speed bumps.:D
It's when the front end raises and then comes back down before you have cleared the bump that sucks, so you have to go fast enough so you clear the bump before the front end has a chance to raise up. (like 25mph or more):rolleyes::D
