Anyone else have these problems with their Pacesetter LT's?

Well i finally started putting my pacesetters on and started with the passenger side. It slipped right in, maybe took five minutes to get a bolt started. I thought everything was going great until i noticed that the front two bolt holes in the flange were between an eighth and a quarter inch off from the head holes. After that I looked down and saw a primary resting on my motor mount! Whats that all about? does anyone else have these problems and what should I do? I'm pulling the header back off but don't know what to do to fix these problems? I cant just leave the primary setting there because i would think with the motor twisting it would just mash the pipe right?

The first thing that pops into my head when I read this was that you didn't get strated in the correct hole. What bolt did you get started? There are two bolt holes in the rear, if I remember correctly, right next to each other. I think that your clearance problem will go away if you get everything lined up correctly. If this isn't the case I don't know what to tell you.

Thanks!

You might have used the wrong holes, there are two extra holes on either end that are not used that look like header bolt holes.

To answer your question, I had no problems with the motor mount. Take all of our suggestions into consideration though.
