Re: Poly with TTI Header Installation

Studs won't work! Not enough room to put on the nut. I bought several wrenches and customized them. Only an open end that is ground thin worked for me. To get the bolt in place I used steel tie wire . I encircled the bolt with the wire and used that to position it and hopefully hold it till it started. I actually worked 2 days once just trying to get that one started! Ask Paul Lenneman! He refused to ever help with the headers again. :-)

I gave those wrenches to the new owner of LeRoar or I'd send them to you. After doing it a dozen or so times I got better at it. Good luck and don't rush!

Hello,
I am trying to install TTI Headers on a 318 Poly in a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere.
Finally I have all of the header bolts in except one and that one is getting close to impossible. It is the lower bolt of cylinder #5 which is the third one on the driver's side. I can get it in the hole but so far I have not found a way to turn it with my fingers or any tool to get it started. I am using the bolts that came with the headers. Even though I really don't want to I have considered pulling the header back off of the driver's side and installing studs in the difficult locations.

I am working on jack stands so I have limited ways I can get my hands up the the header flange. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks
Dennis C.
