Latest update.....success!!!!
After I used my 5 lb sledge and crow bar, removal was easy peasy....lol
Having a cold one in celebration of my first plenum pull myself.....woohoo!!!
Used a hand siphon for the antifreeze, what a treat that was....I won't go into detail and yes it makes for the case to do the TB coolant bypass....
Just looking at everything at a quick glance, all seems fine. The one thing I was concerned about was when I pulled the plenum up the "curly" line (I imagine a PCV line) came out of its connector. But I can't tell you if it was already out or not. Will check more within the net few days. A lot going on, even with the 74, can't loose sight of that project...
All-in-all, everything went well so far!!!
Looks like I'll continue to freshen up parts as time goes on. Now is a good time to repaint the plenum. And maybe even more....
Here are some pics and a question or two.....
Another "famous" block(s) of wood....lol...they come in handy!!!
You may be able to see some of the connectors that need to be undone before plenum removal....the crow bar really comes in handy here....I didn't really say that, did I??? just kidding, must be the brew.....
IIRC, there must be 5-6 connections that need to be unplugged and one unbolted. Take your time when doing these, as patience is a must...
Again, directed to those who may want to attempt this for the first time...
