Don, did you find that you could loosen the headers and move them out far enough to slip the old gaskets out and slip the new ones in or did you take the headers right off ?
Don , I looked at all the Fel - pro header part numbers in both the Summit and Jegs catalogs and I can't find the header part number you gave me . Are you sure about that number ? Also I wonder if I can buy the header gaskets at a local NAPA dealer ?
Jack,
I sent you two E-mails that should show the gasket. I'll try to attach a link to this message for Summit. Part # is felms9275B
I got mine from a local parts store.
You guys are either very timely, or contageous. Thanks. Per your thread, I looked @ mine, and a stinking bolt is missing from the left side header ! I had heard her starting to cackle a bit on trailing throttle, and now know why. Is MBHC the source for these fastners, or is any local speed shop a possible source? Working 6 straight 12s sucks when you need to go shopping!

Any good hardware store or tool shop should be able to supply you with stainless replacements. I use Allens which work fine because you don't have to try and slide a socket between the bolt and the header. Just use a dab of anti-sieze and a lock washer and you're set.

You all are the best. This is the first American anything I have delt with for years, except for my 93 Dodge Duelley with Cummins, and it never broke (except for one wadded up tail gate). Always wondered why they made the ones with a "V" notch in them! At least the fellow that bought it didn't need one either.
Per the thread, I may go ahead and find those drain plugs, flush and change the coolent to a more familiar flavor. Never seen this color coolent before.
Thanks.
