So you saying to take the intake and exhaust manifolds off without taking the
carbs out?? Hmm I know its a pain but there might be a ton more room to
work with without the solex's inthe way.
Do I have to unbolt the header from the exhaust ? I have two factory gaskets
so I should be able to do it... It appears that the gasket that came with my
header is just not that high quality compared to stock.
