lt install

I know its been asked many times before, Any tips or tricks? I've got the stock exhust off, also doing a plug change. I assume the new plugs go in after the header is on. I know the work is just starting so any advice would help. The car is 28 inches off the ground,i'm not in a hurry. Every thing has gone well to this point. Thanks for ALL HELP.

I'm not exactly sure why the guys on this board say to put the spark plug back in after you screwed in the headers, but they do say it.

Personally I think it is easier to do it while the headers are off, just be careful not to hit the plugs while putting the headers in I guess.

Oh yeah disconnect the battery too. Header installs are fun

if you know it has been asked many times, try doing a search in this forum for "header install" or something along those lines
