Let ?s get st art ed.
St art ing Point -- back the car in so it can be
pushed out of the garage for more clearance to
get the engine out later.
First Step is to remove the interior so we can
access the top engine to transmission
attachment bolts. This was relatively easy
because the carpet is attached with snaps.
Remove the dash support, pull the seats,
remove parking brake and transmission tunnel.
Rick Mathis and Len Melanson showed up the
next day and we got started removing engine
components.First Rick and I removed the hood
for better access to the engine.
To make sure it goes back on in the correct
position, he marked the mount points with a
silver sharpie
From there Rick removed the radiator, valve
cover and distributor while I removed the
carburetors and intake manifold.
Len worked on the alternator and heater and oil cooler lines.
