On pacesetters? is it hard to do it and how do i do it?

 

I don't think that you have to.

 

i had to remove the linkage. its very easy, just two bolts. one that you should be able to get from the top and one more that you will have to get from the bottom. after the bolts are removed the linkage kind of slides out.

 

ELDELBROCK....Nope.

 

i did u pretty much haev to w. hooker headers.

 

what about for macs?

 

not with pacestters u wont have to. done probably a dozen pacesetter swaps with no problemn yet

 

I didnt take it out, just took the bottom bolt out and swung it out of the way.

Its cake! Dont sweat it.

 

i didnt have to touch it at all

 

negative on pacesetters also.. Leave it in. If you do need to take it out for some reason, its real easy like mentioned.. Just 1 bolt and it will swing away enough to put pretty much anything in

When I pulled my jethots off they damn near hit me in the head.

 

It depends on the car.
I'd say out of all the header installs I've done, it has been about 70% needed it removed, 30% didn't.

 

I opted to cut the tab off the block instead.

 

I just installed my Pacesetters a couple months ago and I had to just slip the linkage off....no big deal. Also had to grind the tab on the block a little. I was surprised I had to do either of those after reading so many posts about NOT having to do these with Pacesetters. I agree each car is slightly different. Probably could have 'persuaded' them past the linkage but I didnt want to scratch the coating off....but the tab needed to ground a little either way. I did them on a lift which made things a ton easier.

 

My pacesetters fell out/in. Removing the steering linkage is no problem. Remove the top and bottom bolts, then knock the bottom end off the rack, then slide the top off. I like to use some blue loctite on the bolts after I clean them up on re-assembly.

 

Didn't have to with Jet Hots

 

I need pictures and video...

 

i put a set of pacesetters on and they almost installed themselves.even left the plugs in also.the qtp's were,well,what didn't i have to take off ?

 

with my flowtechs I was doing mounts at the time so I unbolted the mount and jacked the motor up for extra room.
