17)
Lower the motor, replace the motor mount bolts and check for header clearance.
18)
Using the supplied header bolts and lock washers, apply a small amount of anti-seize to the bolts
and start the most restrictive bolts first. Tighten to a final torque of 35 ft./lbs.
19)
Replace the clutch linkage, oil filter, dipstick tube, dipstick and alternator.
20)
On late model cars with power steering, use the spacer provided and the long bolt from the stock
exhaust manifold to remount the power steering. See
Illustration C
.
21)
Replace the starter and connect the wires. Reroute the wires as needed for clearance.
22)
Using the hardware provided, install the Flowmaster Ball flange connector to the back of the
header and determine the connection to the exhaust. Weld the exhaust system to the ball collector.
23)
If the spark plugs have a lot of miles on them, now would be a good time to replace them. If you
replace the spark plugs, make sure to put a
small
amount of anti-size on the threads.
24)
Install the spark plugs and connect the wires to the proper plug. It may be necessary to reroute the
wire to clear the headers.
25)
Check to make sure that all wiring, brake lines, hoses, etc. are clear of the headers or any exhaust
component.
26)
Make sure all necessary brackets and accessories have been replaced and secured. Reconnect
the negative battery cable.
27)
Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature. Check for any unusual noises or
exhaust leaks. If everything is OK, stop the engine and tighten all bolts while the engine is still
warm.
Note:
Recheck the header bolts periodically to make sure they have not loosened. Re-
tighten after the first 500 miles and then again at 1000 miles.
IMPORTANT CHECK LIST
Be sure that all brake lines and fuel lines are clear of headers and/or connector pipes.
All spark plug wires, battery cables or other electrical components should be clear of headers and/or
connector pipes.
If dipstick tube has been removed, make sure it is installed properly and that the dipstick has been
replaced.
Double check the tightness of all bolts including brackets and accessories.
