PaceSetters Headers 82-92 Pros/Cons

I've had two sets of these headers over the years and there is some good and bad. First the good. They look real nice and are emission ready. Now the bad. The bolt pattern is such that the far back bolts are almost impossible to get to. The only way I just got to my back bolts was with the transmission out and from underneath. On my last pair I cut a slot into the last bolt hole, put the bolt in, tightened to where I could slide the header on through this slot. So be ready to make a custom wrench for those back bolts. Next is the fit. This last pair did NOT bolt right up (Y-Pipe). I tryed contacting Pace Sitters, but I kept getting answers like "Well they should bolt right up". One last advise for all header installs is purchase those locking header bolts offered on eBay, as these bolts will lossen over time.
