Mine was hitting the block tab, even though I couldn't see it initially. Sawz-all off the tab. For the "fonzie" method, I think they mean they just hit the header until it slid past the block tab (which is what we did on mine, not seeing that it was hitting the tab). Take a piece of wood, and hold the small piece of wood agianst the flange, and tap it past the block with a hammer (You don't have a lot of room, so you can't swing very hard anyway.)

I just cut a little bit of the tab off, and she slid right inplace.. (Steering linkage removed prior). I'm not a big fan of hitting **** untill it fits method, but that just me..

You don't lose much clearance at all with the Victor Series LT's. I love em.

haha the fonzie method. that is priceless. remember how fonzie used to smack the juke box and it would play a song without him paying? yea, they just smacked the headers in. that's funny as hell.
