lt install
lt install i want to put my pacesetters in this weekend. i know this has been talked about a million times but the search is not working for me so does anybody have a writeup on lt headr install.thanks
Pretty much, all header installs are the same. Get your car really high in the air and they should slip right in. IT will take some 2x4's and a good floor jack with some patience.

Get some PB Blaster and soak any bolts you are going to take off the night before.
What kind of clamps are you using post-header? If you don't have band clamps, get some.
Jack the car up high, but safely. I had a difficult time putting on my driver's side header because I couldn't get it high enough. I used the floor jack to squeeze it in there once I saw the only thing keeping the header from going in was less than a 1/4 inch of clearance from the inner wheel well. I made sure the car didn't rise from the jack stand, it didn't take much effort. I wouldn't have done this if I was stuck against the steering knuckle or K-member (due to the potential for damage and because the K-member won't give like the wheel well).
Good luck, be safe, take your time.
one thing to remember....that almost got my *** in trouble: make for 100% sure that you aren't crossthreading your header bolts! Believe me it isn't that hard to do! Aluminum heads are extremely soft! Just have a buddy help you and take your time. Double check everything you do before you do it. Its easier to check twice and take your time rather than turning something simple into a nightmare! Good luck and let us know how it goes!
