I didnt have to take AC lines off.

 

Lines stayed on. But were trying to get the headers off while were in the engine bay to clean them up a little. Problem is were having a hard time getting them off.

Took out all the obvious nuts and the 3 studs holding the headers on, but apparently theres 2 more bolts somewhere. we cant figure out which ones these are for the life of us. can anybody point us in the right direction.

 

there's i think 6 nuts on the head flange, there's 3 on the downpipe flange 2 left and right, and 1 forward, and there's also a bracket that bolts to the block holding the header itself as well...2 bolts to the block, 1 to the header...i haven't had my stock header on the car for a while

 

Well, headers are on and the new alternator goes on tomorrow. These can be a pain to take off if you don't know what bolts need taking off, lol. Anyway, we painted up the headers when they were off and the alternator is going to get the same treatment. Just something to clean up the engine bay a little bit and have it look a little more maintained. As appealing as rust is to look at and all, black just seems to put out that, "I care about my car" vibe.

Anyway, heres a picture of the headers from wolfs build thread.
what a little hard work and touch of carpal tunnel can do. More to follow tomorrow night.

 

looks good you guys. keep it up
