flibuoy Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Anyone care to comment on LT1 plug to header clearance with 2100 Hookers. They advertise improved clearance to straight plugs but no mention of angled. Also how did you handle Oxygen sensor bungs? I plan to put in the reducer after collector flange so as to not bother the ceramic coating. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 They clear but you will want to use a set of plug wires with 90 degree boots. I just welded 02 bungs in the exhaust system near the colloctors where space would allow. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I just put my 2100 headers on my lt1 engine. Spark plugs fit good, but I had to move both of my knock sensors. My Lt1 Vette wires had 90 degree boots on them. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Patriot makes a block hugger designed for d-port heads and angle plugs. Also uses a flare fitting to eliminate the gasket from the collector to pipe juncture. Summit and Jegs both sell Patriot (A Pertronix co.) in painted $149, and coated $229.

flibuoy Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 Has anyone used the Patriot headers on the angle plug LT1 in an early Z ? I noticed they were $40 or so cheaper than Hooker coated. The flared connector reminded me that at one time I used a Ford 429 or ? donut which was 3 inch on regular headers just by adding longer bolts...worked like a charm. May be food for thought with someone at this stage of build. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasv8z Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I would like to know too. I have the s&s long tube headers but there is not much room on the pass side and am running trick flow heads with angle plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if these clear the steering shaft on a 280Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
