Re: Headers on an 86 (mdm)
Dave, a buddy and me just finished putting a set of TPIS headers on my car. ILet me finish the roll in my camera I can send you some pics. Basically, we jacked the back of car high enough to get the rear wheels on some ramps. Given you'll be doing a lot of tugging and pull of the old exhaust, we liked the idea of have the back wheels on ramps and not jack stands.
Then we raised the front of the car as far as the floor jacks would take it and support the front cross member with jack stands. Basically, we had the car high enough that the floor pan was 25 inches off the ground.
Hope this helps and as soon as get the pictures done, I'll post them
