****PLEASE HELP! Need a quick answer!
ok, i got a set of the TES headers from edlebrock, but i bought them slightly used, but no hardware. I heard that there are spacers for the bolts that i need? can i use just reg header bolts?
Also, the ones i have are meant for the 86-90 tpi's. will these bolt to my lg4 305 heads? thanx...

Yeah they will bolt, I think the main difference is the y-pipe and how it connects to the cat. Not sure about the bolt situation though.

They will bolt to the heads, but I'm not sure what kind of header bolts you need.

yeah i called edelbrock to confirm u were right anyways, the spacers i guess are only for accesory location and stuff, all is on its way... only one more question- have an idea on what header gasket to get? is it rectangular or oval.. havent been able to look at the headers for a while, as they are about 25miles away right now lol
