My header/flywheel/clutch install

Figured I would share some pics with you guys here.

I bought some speed daddy ebay stainless headers. I had an aluminum flyhweel that I hated so I went back to a stock iron unit.

Had to get the car started

Headers, steering shaft, Traction Control, Plugs and Wires on. How do I get the wires tucked up next to the block and away from the header? AC Delco plugs.

Looking good. Whats up with the teeth on that flywheel? I highly recommend the over the valve cover wires with asbestos socks on each plug. Youll never ever burn a wire again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I purchased mine from Thunderracing.com. And the boots I got locally. Summit has good deals on sets of 8 for about $50.

The teeth are the same as the one that came off, does it look like its wrong?

I ran my wires pretty much just like factory. Some strategically placed zip ties and the engine bay looks clean and I feel confident I'll never burn the wire. Just make sure to double check everything before you fire it up and check to make sure they didn't move after you've driven it.

how big are the primaries on those headers? and how was the fit? anything special/ridiculous to put them in?

I broke the same sensor that you did in the 10th picture lol.

primaries? you mean how wide is each tube? I am as noob as it gets.

I think it was 1 7/8 but was advertised as 2in.




The fit was ok. I didnt have a big budget so I knew I would have to do some work. Grind down the steering knuckle, grind down the k member and it fits ok. The y pipe fits like shit. Going to have some exhaust work done in the spring. I mean, it all fits but it doesnt fit as well as it should. Im doing this once, and I am doing it right.

I got exactly what I paid for. $300 for this is a steal if you can do some grinding on your car.
