Make sure you have enough height to stand the header completely vertical to stab it in place, otherwise it just takes the right kind of shaking to get it in place.
Good luck!

the car is roughly 2' off the ground and the header isn't hitting the ground.
As I push the front end of the header flange up and over the k member the rear of the flange hits between the starter bump on the bell housing and the firewall.
I'll try taking a more vertical approach tomorrow or sat.

Talked to lg. you have to lower the cradle.
I pulled the cradle down about an inch and it slipped right in.
Great customer service by the way. 3pm on a Saturday and they answered on the 3rd ring.
