headers and spark plugs in,...i must say,..the headers FIT PERFECT! so thanks to sacrament mustang,..i didnt even have to jack up the engine to install them, and i didnt struggle with a single bolt,...everything went is smooth as can be,..but their gaskets SUCK,..ended up using the edelbrock ones,...







dual feed fuel line for carb,...mmmmmm moooooore fuel

well today was the day i was dreeeeeedin, i have been told one of the easiest or one of the hardest things to do is remove the rear end assembly, due to rusted bolts and where they are located,...well 6 bolts releases the whole assembly,..great, not hard,..spray with PB wait for 10 minutes, and go to town,...
bolt 1 snapped, great! nice and easy
bolt 2 snapped, great easy!
bolt 3 came off no problem
bolt 4 came out no problem
bolt 5, haha, about 20 minutes and it came out,...not bad
****ING BOLT 6, front leaf bolt SIX HOURS LATER! and 4 blades and two busted saw's ,...grrrr, anyway its all out,..need to drop off the rear end to be rebuilt by the same people that did the tranny, and having 3.55 gears put in it,..

why is it that the last bolt is usually the hardest? the first bolts/nuts usaually aren't that hard and you think, I'm i going to get lucky! then the last one takes more time then all the other ones put together. I've always wounderd that. love the way your car is coming along.
