I installed my pass side pacesetter from the top. Could not get it in place going in from the bottom. Hope this helps.

how exactly from the top? anything you had to take off to make it work? we've been trying through the top but it catches on the fram and firewall

You might need to jack it up a little bit
more, if you're on a lift you should get it
in easily if not you need to lift it up till
the LT does'nt hit the ground and play it
around. It might take a little bit of more
force than expected but it should go in.

Default Yes jack it up more

i had the same prob, but i just put some blocks under the jack and it let the header have a little more room to rotate and it went in fine.

I didnt have to do any of that. Just jack it up more and remove those damn aluminum sheilds!!!! That helped a bunch.

Ya I got it done, but now a spark plug is fucked up, its sticking out like 1/4 more then the others, maybe an 1/8 I dunno why the hell its like that, how much of a difference will this make? Will it misfire because of this???
