Thanks

You shouldnt have to dimple the headers. If they hit the steering column, then unbolt it and move it.

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for the replies, Kevin91Z....Funny...Just move it...


87TPI420, I spoke with both SLP and Air Flow Research. They suggested that I use the SLP headers with AFR L-98 angle plugs. Heads I ordered were the 210cc/L-98 Angle Plug.

Anyone else like to chew on this information...Please do

Thanks Everyone

i dunno...what i do know is the slp shorties 1 3/4 stainless, will not fit with my brodix track 1 angle plug heads! thats a fact and i am the proof. i dimpled the headers..got them in with spark plugs in also...but the header tube were sitting rite on the plug end (without the little screw on conductor cap on) so...make absolutely sure before you get them.

just tryin to save you some headaches. i have enough for all of us!
