Hi guys! So have a question, I was at junk yard a couple days ago looking for parts for my 86 n/a. Came across I believe a 85 12a that had racing beat header so i grabbed it. I know I have to do some modifications for it to fit, anyways I took my stock manifold off and noticed that the engine had the 2 main exhaust holes then a little port below. So if i was to get the racing beat header on is it safe to have that mini port (hole) covered by the rb header?

Mine is but I have removed all my emissions so in your case I wouldn't know for sure.

Humm alright, I've looked at the RB header for the 86 and I didnt see that third port so.

That port is used for air injection. You may need it to pass emissions, otherwise, it is unnecessary

Wait! I just reread the above post... 12A engines are not as long as 13B engines, I am pretty sure the headers won't fit without some modifications. I misread the above post the first time. I thought the headers were on an 85 GSL (13B)
