    Help! 76 Stingray

    Steering Column Paint

    stage 8 header bolts - too soft?

    Been there done that! You need a Snap-on (or simular) open end wrench that looks like this. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=5221&group_ID=560&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog The combo of angles will let you get the bolts tight.
