- '79 CJ5, 258 I6, T150 w/Dana20, Dana30 front and AMC20 rear. My first Jeep! I'm looking forward to doing some minor upgrades and restoration while enjoying the ride.
Somewhere back in time a PO took off the stock manifold and installed a header. I was changing my belts today (wait, belts? what does that have to do with a header, you ask...) and I found that part of my power steering pump bracket had been cut off because the number 1 header pipe was in the way. That number 1 tube is completely blocking the pump from pivoting so the only way I can get a new belt on there is to unbolt the pump and then change the belt and bolt it back up under the pressure of the belt.
So, as with all parts Jeep this current header will need replacing soon and I would love to go back to a stock manifold but thought it best to see what you guys have run across in your time.
Manifold or another header, what do you think? Stock 258 and it's going to stay stock, even when I rebuild it next it will be stock. Driver, not a wheeler.
