K, so I have a game-plan at least... While I'm doing the headers, I could also look at doing motor mount bushings. :D
Also, my car seems to have a TON of thin tubings and such, as it's a '76 with AC (lots of stupid crap, including a "smog pump")... Any risk in pinching something and thus any "be on the lookout" warnings aside from distro cap?
As for the fitting: The little blurb on Summit says the headers need to be slightly modified a few ways to accomodate the plugs. Anybody got any pics of bur work to comply with this? Also, about the "smog pump" crap... Hooker's instructional PDF says to plug these by tapping and installing set-screws? Will my '76 318 have these and thus require plugging in this manner?
Also, this:

However, because the exhaust port centerline on these heads is 5/8 in. higher and 3/8 in. out from the engine centerline compared to stock heads, some header modifications will be required for installation.
