Pacesetter headers come with header bolts. Did you purchase these new or pick up a used set? If used, you can contact Pacesetter and ask them to send you out a set of bolts for their headers. They are slightly longer than the header bolts readily available at local parts stores. They are also 5/16" threads.

I bought a used set of Pacesetter headers some time ago via my local craigslist and had to order the header bolts from them.

Thanks for the info I'll call them tomorrow. Hopefully the temporary bolts I put in stay tight the test went well so far.

I just went to napa and picked up some grade 8 bolts and threw them in there when I did mine.

I went to lowes and bought the grade 8 bolts to just hold the header but the outer tubes inner bolt won't tighten all the way since the bolt head touches the manifold

I had the same issue. I used grade 8 studs in some places where nut clearance allowed and Pacesetter header bolts in tight clearance areas.
