Edelbrock shorty bolt fix??? I recently installed edelbrocks shorty headers, and the collectors dont have studs, just loose nuts/bolts, and have found they already are getting loose causing an exhaust leak.
The problem is that they are a pain to tighten up (getting a wrench on top, hardly any clearance).
Does anybody know of any bolts or kits (maybe like a stage 8 design) that can help solve this problem, or has anyone come up with their own solution?
Any help is appreciated.

I had the same problem with mine. I basically used a vice grip for the nut under the collecter, and then constructed a massively long ratching extention to tighen from the top. It worked pretty well. I had an exhaust leak in the same place, actually, it was the Edelbrock gasket that disintigrated. Make sure you use your stock gaskets.
