    HELP! Header gasket replacement

    it helps to also loosen the collector bolts below if you have a hard time moving the header out and getting it to line up back into place. It's helpful to have a right angle 7/16ths box end wrench for some of the tougher to reach bolts. getting a socket into these bolts can be a *****!! make...

I had to lift my engine about 6" in order to get the headers to line up. As for your fit issue this is the 1st time I've seen any headers on an A Body be...
