stock intake removal? - Carb

autoX · 01-31-2001, 03:39 PM

I have an intake leak and need to replace the gaskets on my carburated '85. My question is, what needs to be romoved to put new gaskets on the intake manifold? I realize I have to unhook quite a bit of vacuum lines, but what about Valve-covers? distributer?
Just wondering what it is going to take to fix. Any hints/tips?
Thanks all!

Valve covers don't have to come off. I don't know if you can get the intake off with the distributer in cause I took mine out when I did mine. Other then that it's a cake walk.
