I currently have a set of Hooker Comp headers on my 1969 Camaro with a 350. The passenger side rear header bolt is almost impossible to get a wrench on unless you take the motor out, it is a non A/C car also. I might have to pull the motor as the cam might be bad, but if I have to pull the motor What brand of headers shold I look at with a better tube design to get at all the bolts. I even tried to use a Allen head bolt in there but you cannot get anything on that head. Thanks, Jerod

 

I have the same thing only angle plugs and raised ports.
I take 2 pieces of all thread about 4" in start them in the head. this way you are not fighting the header and bolt at the same time.
I then start the back and work towards the front starting the bolts.
get some cheap wrenches. cut , bend or weld. what ever it takes.
it is time consuming, but it can be done

 

Ok thanks, I might have to get a few wrenches and do some custom fab on them for that one bolt. Getting the bolt in is easy, it just getting a tool on it to get it tight. Thanks, Jerod

 

I use allen head bolts instead of hex head, intake manifold bolts are the same size. And for the tight ones where the header tube gets in the way, I cut down the short end of the wrench. Works like a charm.
