I am sure there is a way to reverse the polarity but I've just been dealing with the gauge reading backwards, not been an issue with as little as I drive it.

As far as the header goes it is a Hedman, think I purchased it from Summit. They say it only fits a 2wd only but not sure why, only thing I could gather was maybe because the crossmember is different between 2wd and 4wd, but I made it work on mine. It was a huge pain in the *** to get it on though, and it will take at least one other person. I had to leave the starter in place but unbolted and hold it in one hand to move it around from the bottom while the headers came in around it from up top with motor jacked up a little bit. Very little clearance between frame rail and engine block. Good luck.
