Hi All,
Looking for some inside hints and tips from those of you whole have been there and done it all before. I'm about to take delivery of one of Sean's lovely Racesport Headers and full system for the L26 on my Z. I'm planning on installing this on my driveway at home in the next couple of weeks having put the car on ramps and axle stands.
I'm generally very mechanically minded and pretty good with spanners however having not installed one of these before on an old school engine I wanted to ask if anyone has any inside hints and tips or advise useful hardware or specialist tools that will help and make my life easier?
Planning on removing the air filters, disconnecting the fuel lines from the carbs, throttle cables and then taking the intake manifold straight off with the carbs still fitted to gain access and work from there....
Everything came off last summer for some overhaul work so I'm hoping that nothing should be seized up. The big one that I'll be concerned over will be snapping studs, however any input or advice would be gratefully received!
This is what I'll be working with:
