Hey John!!!!I got mine on!!!I found out that all you have to do is first, take the pipe off the header. Then take the clear seal and put it on the engine where it's supposed to be. Slide it off about 1/4 or less of the way, so that the end of it starts to like.....pull together and become smaller. That way, the manif., when you put it over, will sort of push it the rest of the way on, and since the first part is smaller in diameter, it'll fit right in without getting bunched up. Hold on the manifold, and put the spring into the inner hole first, then stretch around to the outer hole. Hold the manifold really well when you do this or it'll slip off. Then attach the pipe and BAM! It's on. I just did it. Then I put on my 3 shoe clutch so I can whoop you tommrow....hehehe
