    Seat Emblems/Hardware

    Okay, I see. So I assume all I have to do is grind the keeper off and use some sort of small nut to hold them on again or is there some other sort of keeper that I can use?

    Seat Emblems/Hardware

    Got my new seat covers in and am trying to remove the old ones. I have a 70 Grande'.(Same bucket seats as Mach 1). How do I remove the seat emblems without breaking them? I've already broken one. It looks like it was riveted on or something.:shrug:

    One inch drop?

    If you do decide to do both, make sure your headers aren't much lower than your frame rail....trust me, it sucks... Speed bumbs are not our friend.

    I need help with headers.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. The manifold are extremely short. I mean, they definitely won't flow as good as headers, but not so bad that i'll lose a lot of power. Today I plan to call a few junkyards to see if they have any manifolds laying around that will fit and are not cracked...

    I need help with headers.

    Manifold vs. Shorty Headers Can anybody break down the advantage of having shorty's over the stock manifold? I'm going one way or the other. I just would like to know if there is a BIG difference in performance.

    I need help with headers.

    Yeah, I do know I have a big "2" stamped on them. This really does suck, but there's gotta be something out there for less than $500-600. If it is, I plan to find it. If it's not, my wife is going to kill me....:bang:

    I saw these Headmans for a Cleveland over at Summit as well, but I don't know how low they are going to hang. Any thoughts? Headman Full Lengths

    I need help with headers.

    Uh-oh.... You tell me. I have 8 bolt valve covers and my water neck bolts directly to my block, not my manifold. All Cleveland characteristics right? However, my fuel pump has vertical bolts. Windor characteristic right? :shrug: If this is a cleveland, what are the implications...

    Progress report on suspension build (pics)

    Before you start lowering, you might want to take a look at my other post about headers. My headers are giving me a "headache"... :rlaugh: Get it? Headers--Headache...? I won't quit my day job, but definitely make sure your's aren't below your frame rails. I can't get out of my driveway...

    I need help with headers.

    $135 $135? That's what i'm talkin' about!:SNSign: I would call George @ accufab, but $599 is way too much for headers. Thanks anyway though. Can anybody beat $135? $135 going once... $135 going twice..... I am worried about spark plug changes. The ones I have on there...

    I need help with headers.

    For those of you who have been following my other suspension build thread you know that I have completed it and it has a decent stance. However.....I have a MAJOR problem. My headers are too low. I need advice on headers that will "tuck" like the stock headers.(not below the frame) I...

    Rear of car is lower on the drivers side.

    :lol: Good one.... good one!:rlaugh: I'm still confused about this whole thing. After putting new reverse eye 4.5s on mine a few days ago, my driver's side sits about 1/2" lower than my passenger. What gives?:shrug:
