"HELP PACESETTER LONG TUBE INSTALL" Im Installing A Set Of Pacesetter Long Tube Emission Headers, And Im Have A Problem With The Airline Line Bolting On Correctly On To The Header Hook Up. They Hardly Meet As If The Place On The Header For The Air Tube Should Have Been Moved Up An Inch Then It Would Pass The Transmission Dipstick Tube Instead It Lines Corrrectly Up With It Ive Tired Bending The Header Too Except For The Flaw But No Luck, There Has Too Be A Way Too May It Work So I Can Have Them On And Pass Emissions Is There Some Type Of Hook-up Or Some Way Too Rig?

off of the back of the intake manifold the A.I.R line its silver about 7 inches in length it comes down the back side of the block and rest between the block and the transmisson dipstick. What its doing is its not hooking up directly on too the header, because the air hook up on the header points directly into the transmission dipstick, so i tired bending the header a little but no luck it just makes things worse. I also tried bring the line against the backside of the firewall but now because i bent the header out so far i can't get it inside the engine bay plus im worried about heat issues since it wasn't designed to go on the backside of the firewall. If there was a way too make the line longer or get a longer line it would be great but im not sure if they sell something like that?

That's not the AIR line, its the EGR Pipe...
I am suprised that is a problem, most of the Pace Setters are good about that. The AIR Hookups are on the front of the Engine, on both sides. They usually are a pain, the threads are real tight.
To fix your problem, you might have to extend that pipe just a little, with some 1/2 inch copper pipe or stainless pipe, something like that.
