Steve and Dave,

Did the Kirk headers require any modifications to the chassis?

Many times, if you try to tighten a small amount, then loosen, it works to break the "rust" loose.

Several years ago I purchased Headers that were made by Paeco. I think I bought them through Sports & Classics at the time.

Just FWIW--I have no dog in this fight--I've seen a lot of negative commentary on Paeco over the years (just do an internet search on 'paeco bad reviews'). I vaguely recall considering one of their products years ago--might have been a camshaft--and was scared off by all the negative reviews I read. Same for County products (and I do have horror stories about them).

No. On my car they touched a flange on the back of the left fender well where you can't see it unless you look up from the bottom. I bent it a little with hammer and punch to get clearance.

Great! Thanks Steve. I will check them out.
