    OK, what the heck!

    Well, I dont consider myself a complete idiot but, for the life of me I cant get my pacesetter header on the passenger side.

    no matter which way I try to fit it in there, it wont go. Keeps getting hung at the firewall, or hitting on the frame or the AC crap.

    So what the heck is the secret?


    take it easy on me

    Yeah, it should go in pretty easily from underneath... But make sure to jack it up high enough---it has to get almost vertical to wedge it in there...

    you may have to put a block under the oil pan and lift the engine a little if the mounts have started collapsing.

    I did try from the top and bottom but no luck, wasnt hitting any heat sheilds, just the tub/firewall and the it gets caught on the topside by the silver AC can thingy thats mounted on the firrewall.

    I will try again in a wek or two, darn busy schedule.
