Assembly:
1. Bolt Core support back together using supplied core support plate. (Note: you will only use enough
rubber spacers to allow the plate to be flat against the frame while still taking up the gap on the core
support.)
2. Bolt body back to core support at all fastening points.
3. Install Headers or keep original exhaust manifolds. (Suggested Headers: Hooker Competition Series).
Part # 2456-1HKR (metallic ceramic) Part# 2546HKR (black)
Note: with Hooker Competition Headers it will be necessary to use a short oil filter.
4. Remove the lower engine bolts and install Manual Rack Kit into same holes.
5. With kit bolted up in chassis. Notice that on the mounting bracket, there are two round holes and two
slots. Rack slots allow adjustment of the column shaft bracket. Fasten the rack bracket in a position
that allows a straight shot from the pinion up thru the steering shaft support bracket.
6. With pinion centered, hook up tie rod ends to the spindles. Keep jam nuts loose at this point (as we
will come back and align the vehicle after)
