edelbrock header woes

[turboedpickup]

sigh - my edelbrock header has some fitment issues. i know it's for the d - that's for sure. fits the head perfectly. except... the other half isn't fitting right. i might need a new cat - and some modification to my exhaust pipe.

other than that - it's also hitting my slave cylinder bleeder valve. argh! it's literally right on it. what could be wrong? does anyone else have a problem with their edelbrock header? i'll get pics up soon -

maybe it's my car. - even though it's been in an accident - the head/block/tranny should still be proportionally aligned right?

bah. anyone want my header?!

being in an accident will most likely have nothing to do with it hitting the bleeder on the slave. Now the fittment of it to the cat could be your exaust setup or what car the header was intended for. I personally have seen these headers bolted up and have never seen any issues on an Eg/Ej chassis...they are very well built headers.

the valve should be close but not hitting....

i had issues tryan hook it up to my exhaust too but after some banigng and fighting it fit

mine fit very nicely its build quality is nice

well... i got it in... and yes...with some/much force. i sorta screwed up the o2 sensor wiring...so i'm going to need to buy more wire. other than that... i think i'm only feelin the low end of this header - but this is possibly due to runnin without my o2 sensor.
