I think he means some sort of locator pin on the head to make sure the header is installed correctly.

You mean the stud? You don't need that the bolt holes will align it. I used pretty stainless steel bolts I got from ACE hardware.

No, there plastic sleeves that go over the studs that align the header. I'm going to fab something. ..

Saw a post a while back where someone showed plastic bushes the factory used on a couple studs to make it fit better.

Naturally those are burnt to nothing after it's used for years...

Hardly necessary, you could fudge anything handy of the right size in there if you wanted to get precise.

The way these exhaust ports are designed, using the spacer bushings is a good idea. The engine will only benefit from it being lined up properly. Do you need to by the plastic Ford part.... absolutely not. Just make sure whatever you use centers the flange holes on the studs.
