Metal_Wulf:
Are those the 12 point ARP header bolts I see in the pic. I tried to use those on my hooker headers last year. The problem was that two of the bolts are too close to the header pipes and there is only room for an open end wrench, not a 12pt socket. My engine is now out of the car and is getting an entire stainless bolt kit when it goes back in.

they are 6 point ARP header bolts. I could only use a socket for 2 bolts on each header.... the rest I had you use a wrench on, I used the box end more than the open though, if that matters?

I seemed to work out ok, all nice and tight.
