My list just grew another mile. Today I blew my driver side head gasket. I have looked over the procedures for replacing it, and it appears I will have to remove my power steering pump as well as my A/C pump, Intake manifold and exhaust manifold....So to my question. While I have all this off and easily accessible what else can I accomplish. I will look into getting the heads done but what exactly should I have done to them? I may replace my powersteering pump all together its the only thing on the car that looks 35 years old and it leaks horrendously. My A/C pump is new so nothing much I can do there. How about the intake can I have it port matched with the block still in the car? Questions Questions.....Seems I have more than my fair share but look at it this way. When I am done with all this I will be answering everyone else's questions.
