The vehicle does have the factory (2 phone books) service books, but the pics are generic, with little or no detail... For example, a pic(drawing) of the valley cover shows a certain bolt in a certain position, but when installed in that spot, it fouls other components. The bolt should be 1 hole further forward....

And I don't want to buy the books, because I'll never use them again, and the owner of the vehicle won't want them. In any case, it would be 2 weeks + before I got them, and I want to have this thing out of my shed this week..

Thanks Bobby. PM sent


....

Thanks Bobby. Pics received. A BIG help!

Well, thanks everyone for you assist, and a big thank you to Bobby. His pics were a real big help.... I got it all back together.... a few rotations to get things moving, then I connected the coil. A couple of coughs, and then ran well..... at 3000 rpm! Major vacuum leak! Pulled the top intake manifold off again... the fault was a cable clamp at the rear of the engine, had shifted between the mating surfaces, as I bolted them down. Only a thin piece of metal, but enough. New gaskit, and reinstall tomorrow... It will leave the shop this week, dammit.

Thanks again, all....
