Angry Still Not Finished

My girlfriend and I started installing my headers at 3:00pm on friday and worked till 1:15am. Then I went back this morning at 9:30am and continued till 9:00pm and it is still not done All I have left is to tighten up the passenger side header bolts, install passenger side plugs, install made for you looms, install plug wires, install y-pipe, and keep trying to get the dipstick tube back in
Thanx to Craig and Payam for stopping by and lending a hand last night.

I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with the passenger side. The AC takes up so much space underneath it makes it very difficult to reach anything. I'm not looking forward to doing the plugs. Does anybody have any advice or tricks they would like to share

If your girlfriend has skinny arms, it could be a bonus for you as that the passenger side front plugs can be had from the top from someone like that.......
It may seem like it's taking a long time, but when you get frustrated just take a step back and do something enjoyable for a bit - another place your girlfriend can come in handy.

what kind of headers you installing? I 'm guessing long tubes? I know with my edlebrocks, the plugs were hard to get at at first but with the car jacked up, I was ably to get them in fro the bottom and top pretty easily. Takes me about half hour to an hour now. Call me on Sunday and I'll swing by before I go to work. 604-808-5327 Call me after nine or when you get up

just a question but why didnt you do the plugs before you put the headers on it would of given alot more room. routing the wires is what i hate it sucks, but then again i have the stock manifolds it might be easier with the looms and headers to go from the top

You have to do the plugs after the headers otherwise they won't go in, manifolds do.

Thanx for the offers guys!!
I'm going to go back now and try and finish it up. There is not too much to do so I'll try and do it on my own, but if I run into any problems I'll have to use one of my life lines

Can you ask your gf to have a chat with my gf? She hates my car and I doubt she would ever work on it with me.
