If you are having problems getting the springs on the headers on the exhaust . Just use safety wire to pull the spring and guided it to the loop with a screw driver (it sometimes helps if you wrap the wire around another screwdriver so you can pull it easier). then just either clip the wire or pull it threw. Took me all of 1min to put all my spings on the whole exhaust.

Does any one know where I can get a spring puller tool, I've been to quite a few stores looking for it, even web site, and can't find them. Any help would be appreciated. Btw, I've been able to remove the springs using neddle nose pliers, but I'd rather have the required tool.:dunno

8th Item down. You should be able to go into your local dealer or accesory shop and order them.

Actually, using heavy-duty nylon construction twine works very well, and does not scratch the surface of the headers. Best part, $3.00 for 100 ft. Plus, you can manipulate it in places a straight hook can not go.

I agree with the comment about the Graves headers. They seem to have the bosses in the wrong locations--but hey, they did win Superstock in '04.
