I finally got around to installing the rest of the pacesetter headers and 4 O2 sensors I needed to get back on the Firebird, but I ran into a problem with the install on the Pacesetters.
As I was installing the y-pipe on the drivers side, I ran into a problem with the 2 flange bolts. They seemed to be too long for that side. I compared all of them together, and the 4 flange bolts are all the same length. The passenger side flanges bolted good between the header and the y-pipe, but the drivers side, it seemed as though those bolts were too long. Im thinking that I could get some washers to make up for the length, so that the nuts can tighted ok to the flanges, but I am not real sure about doing that. Or possibly getting shorter bolts for that side.
Has anyone else had that problem with the pacesetters? Maybe the flange on the y-pipe was too large. Im not real sure...any help would be appreciated.
