ok guys here is an awsome tip that works great!just put drivers side header gasket on 79 t/a.here it is get the old gasket out with the front tire off,put in new gasket then start second bolt.with that started take a cheap crank jack(like the one in ur work car)and place it on the tubes before the collector and crank it up looking thru the wheel opening till gasket touches.and snug it up and start the last bolt with a few extentions and rachet it snug and wala done and finish it off! worked great for me cut it in half took me forever last time this time 20 min!

Good tip but I have not changed header gaskets sense I have installed the engine 5 years ago.
