Headers and exhaust.

Im sure you have heard this a million times,but here goes anyway.Does anyone have a pic of the long tube headers running into the y-pipe and then the routing of the pipes thru the crossmember on a 1988 f-150 4x4 short bed 302 automatic?

I think the only real trouble with spark plugs comes in when you use GT40P heads. I have no issues with my plugs. I got the wire wrap just in case, but my plugs don't contact the headers. I went with Pacesetter LTs so I could keep the EGR

The SD system really only has a provision for one O2. It wont matter too much. Some have put the sensor back in the y but that requires a long extension with longtubes.

The EGR hooks up same as stock on my Pacesetters.

are these engines multi point injection?
if there is a failure on one of the cyclinders not being monitored by the O2, would that then cause the computer to not see it?
