Dougs headers and dipstick tube for Pontiac 455 or 400....
I was fitting my Dougs headers onto my engine (Pontiac 455 with Edelbrock D Ports) just to see if they would clear everything. I noticed that the dipstick tube is going to interfere with the header flange that runs between each set of tubes.
What did you guys do to make it fit or did yours even come close to the flange? |

You either bend the tube out some and the flange fits behind or you cut the flange out between those tubes.

I grinded a notch in the flange and kept the tube straight.

Oh sure, easy to do on the stand in the garage! LOL. Not so easy on the car. It's a b!tch but doable. I think I had to unbolt the MM and lift the right side up a bit. Just could reconsile grinding/cutting on the ceramic coated, way expensive, headers.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
