The rivet positions will beslightly different, however, the proceduresare the same.#917701 Page 93
Installing HeadersSpecial Note: We suggest leaving theheaders in their plastic bag during the initial fit.If the headers do not fit your application, youcan return them within 30 days of the purchasedate for credit of the purchase price only. Thereturned parts must be in new condition (noscratches, dents or dings). <strong>Chassisworks</strong>reserves the right to return to the customer anyheader kit that is returned in substandardcondition.There are many manufactures of cylinder heads and several of them have made changes to the basicdimensions of the stock head. These changes will affect how our headers fit because we have builtour headers to a close tolerance. Below are suggestions of modifications that can be made duringyour installation to insure the best fit.1. Bolt hole resizing of the header flanges.2. Different spark plugs to gain clearance for spark plug wires.3. Different spark plug boots or wires to clear the header tubes.4. Shimming the transmission mount up or down for additional tube clearance to the frame. If thetransmission has been relocated from the stock location or replaced with a different model, theheader fit may be affected.5. Minor dimpling or denting of the header tubes.6. Minor grinding of the header flange around the head bolts.7. Changing the cylinder head fastener style for more clearance ( i.e. 12 point bolts or nuts, nowasher or head studs).8. The shape of the exhaust port may require a gasket change or modification for best seal.9. Not all cylinder head manufactures use the same specifications on the width, height, and angle ofthe exhaust ports. If the ports are changed from the stock location in any way, the headers will betoo wide to fit between the frame rails.10. It is a good idea to test fit the headers on the engine prior to installing them. Make changesbefore you have the headers in the car.We suggest angle plug heads for betterfit. The spark plug clearance will bevery tight on the straight plug heads. Ashorter length spark plug is availablefrom most vendors. Champion C63YCis a good starting point for a streetsmall block with straight plugs.However, even this spark plug willcome very close to some tubes. MSDmakes a heat shield material thatshould be wrapped around the tubesthat have spark plug boot interference.#917701 Page 94
