Vette(s): 1982 Black, ZZ4, Hooker Side Pipes, 3.55 Rear, Rebuilt & upgraded 700R4, All new suspension, brakes, & new Charcoal interior.

I have Hooker Headers (side pipes) and I'm always tightening the header bolts, I check them every couple months and there is always one or two that have loosened up.

I remember they used to have have some header bolts that had a locking piece to keep them from coming loose, but I don't know if they're still around

I looked into those Dan, I don't have any room beyond the head of the bolt.

The stage 8 bolts have another nice feature besides the locking ring, they have an Allen and a hex head. Fot the areas that it is hard to get a box wrench on the Allen wrench will fit.
