matt a short set of box end wrenches will be ur best friend on the manifold swap.if or a set of very shallow 3/8's drive swivel sockets.one word of advice if ur gonna use a swivel socket wrap the joints in ducttape,keeps u from bending the swivel to far and slipping off and busting ur knuckels

slip another wrench over the end of the wrench on the manifold bolts,instant way to get more leverage,or use a short piece of pipe over the wrench if u have the room to do so

I forgot how to do that, but it doesnt matter my tools suck once again 14 to small 15 to big..I need to put the TWO bolts I got out yesterday back in because tomorrow we are taking my car to get the cut out installed and to see about fixing the exhaust leak from where the slip fit is.. O well Im gonna ask my grampa if he wants to help me with the intake manifold when I get the car back.

I got about all the bolts off! the carb off, all the wires out of the way, I just need to know how to get the whole distributer off. I think thats the only thing I need to get off besides an alternater bracket, wich I also cant get off.

nope no tach here, I guess its the price to pay for having a factory v8 firebird though
well I got everything off but parts arent matching and the back wont go on because of a peice in the way.
If I ordered a action plus for 1957-86 small block chevy with out egr. that would work with my car right?
