Default header install

I"m getting ready to install pacesetter LT's and have all the old stuff removed.I will be putting o2 extensions on the front o2's and o2 sims on the rear.My question is --is there a trick to getting the o2 wires and connecters pulled down to work on .Mine are tucked up very tight with some sort of retaining clip that i cannot seem to get loose.

You should be able to disconnect the wires. Pull the blue (?) connector lock out & lift the tab & unplug the connector. Then the wire harness should be removable.

A note on Pacesetters. The set I installed we had to notch the edge of the K-member on the drivers side. They were supposed to fixt that by bending the tube a little different, but you should keep it in mind just in case. You won't know until you get the header in place.

I also had to grind that tab on the block down to get mine in. As for the extensions, WAHUSKER pretty much got it covered.

just installed my LT's tonight and it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. i just pulled the blue locking clip out and unfastened the connector, nothing to it. also didn't have to grind or alter anything and seem to fit great. i still have to put the y-pipe on in the morning
