My 85 GT came with an H pipe and dual Flowmeters, wich sounded great, but I had to get rid of the stock exhaust manifold. So I got the BBK shorty's for an "easy" bolt on Application. So the headers bolted on to the block fine, but I can't get the collectors to seal.
When I pulled off the originals, there wasn't any type of donut or gasket between the pie and the collector, so I bolted these straight.....leaked like a MF.
I can't get the pix in order, but...
#1 shows the header collector
#3 shows what the pipe flange looks like and the ring that I installed
#2 looks like a similar ring as pic #3, but has a flat spot...should I try this one?
I did have to do some pulling and moving around the pipe to get them to go on straight, but I can still feel there's a small gap on one side or the other of each collector to pipe connection. I'm wondering if it;s just cause they didn't go on perfectly straight?
Any suggestions would be gresat
