I have my pacesetter headers and some of the bolts near the rear are real close to the primaries and hard to get a wrench to. Almost impossible. Any overall pointers.

 

What type of bolts are you using? I had to go with the ARP 12 point bolts, which made getting a socket on them much easier.

 

im just going with the ones they gave me. I have to get it set up tommorow morning because i have to work at 1. Ive got the old manifolds off and cut off the old y-pipe, now i just need to reassemble.

 

also, i dont have to remove anything do i? These are just shorties so they can go in through the top right? I removed the altenator. THats it right?

 

I "believe" that they can go in through the top. I only have experience with Longtubes. Driver's side shouldn't be a problem what-so-ever. Passenger side might be a little tough, but should be doable.
You need to definately go back and check those cheap ones they supply you with. After about 500 miles, they could back themselves out.
Good luck

 

You might need to take off the steering linkage on the drivers side. Use the open end of the wrench it makes it a little easier, just be careful not to strip it.
