so im putting my headers in my camaro, and finding out how much this car really hates me, and the steering gear is rubbing on the driver side? its by a minimal amount, you can still turn the wheel all the way to the left and right, but is there any solution aside from just taking a hammer to my brand new headers?

 

There are three bolts through a bracket that holds the column to the firewall (inside passenger compartment). Two holes are slotted, allowing you to push the steering column toward the outside of the car. If you cant get enough movement, slot the holes a bit more.

What headers did you get?

 

We may never know.... hasn't been active on the site since he posted the question.

 

sorry! i lurk alot though, but i got some ebay generics, i just got around to getting the column moved over and what injuneer said worked wonders
now just to change my opti, block off my egr, and toss it all back together and its done!

 

Were they "D" port headers?

 

nah, http://www.ebay.com/itm/261421372075?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITgot those, they seem to fit alright and the welds dont look too bad

 

Thanks for the info. I'll look into them after I research the "D" port difference problem.
