Anyone Have Dynatech Header Install Instructions?
Looking for a copy to review before I buy. I know that there are instructions for other sets available. I'd rather get it "from the horse's mouth" . Do you know where to download? Got a PDF? .DOC? Hard Copy? Glad to cover 'S&H' for a hard copy!
Thanks!
Barney

Hey, Barney --
Why not call Dynatech, or maybe do a Google search?
Never mind, here - I did it for you:

Barney,
ensure you have > 3' clearance under the car or you will not get the driver's side header up and in. I know. Totally brutal. Everything else is a piece of cake. On my 98, I did not have to pull the valve covers, and removed only the 5,6,7 & 8 coil packs. Plenty of room.
You will love what it does to your Vette.

Joe-
Thanks for the heads up! I just put in a lift last spring (worth every cent) otherwise I probably would not consider installing them myself. If you can think of anything else I need to know I would really appreciate your input! Do the cats and x-piped stay up in the body like the stockers (don't want no messed up ground clearance = $1500 pealed off on a speed bump, etc.)

I thought the passenger side was real easy to get in, but the driver's side, well, I'm glad I learned how to swear in the Navy. Used every expression I ever heard

I've got an A4 Auto if it matters - as I recall (last Feb or so), I slid the pass one in from the top - it was a tight fit and seemed to hit stuff, but I couldn't see what it was hitting - then, suddenly it just fit into place.
The drivers one, I know I removed the coil packs and the grounding strap. I did NOT remove or disconnect the steering linkage (shaft). I'm certain, (even as poor as my memory is) that I only had the car on ramps and that I got it to slip up - If my memory is faulty and I did use jack stands for the front, I would have used my small jackstands and my front would have not been more than 15 - 18 inches off the ground - but I think I used car ramps!
Anyway, I remember doing the passenger side first, swearing a little till it finally slipped in, then doing the drivers side, and thinking that the drivers side was really a piece of cake - little bit of an angle to it and it slid right in.
