Header Install Help???
Header Install Help??? Hello,
I just got my QTP headers and the passanger side went it quite easy, but I am having trouble getting the drivers side in. I have taken off the steering linkage and valvecover and still dont have the room to slide it down. I can only get the car up off the ground about 13". Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get the header to go in???
Thanks

I think the car height might be your problem, but for me I had to get the passenger side up higher to get my headers in. You might also want to try grinding or cutting off the block tab. Here are the instructions I used. You also should look at JRP's bolt-on FAQs, I think he has an install guide too.

How about would I go getting the car that high off the ground?? Is it safe to just jack up the one side 19 or so inches??? If not would it be okay to say jack up the passanger side say 13 or so inches and then jack up the other drivers side to the 19??? I am just afraid of breaking or twisting something I shouldnt.....

I have my car up 22' and they slid right in. I did not have to remove anything else, not even the plugs or oil filter. It fits in forward of the K-member support, not back by the oil filter. You need the car higher. You must be carefull!!!
Buy or borrow some very large jack stands. I would NOT jack up half of the car much higher than the other side or front to rear. You do not want it coming down on you, Not worth it!!
Jack it up in increments and take your time.
Good luck and be SAFE!!

Pull the oil plug and the oil filter and get the car as high as you can. Call us if you need more assistance. We just did an install for GMHTP mag and the took 30 secs to put the driver side in.
