Drain the cooling system and disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Remove the carburetor and the attaching bolts from the accelerator cable mounting bracket, positioning the cable to avoid interference with manifold removal. If equipped with cruise control, disconnect the chain at the carburetor and remove the servo bracket assembly attaching nuts, positioning the assembly similarly. Disconnect the upper radiator hose at the thermostat housing, the coolant bypass hose at the manifold, and the heater tube at the intake manifold, removing the tube support bracket attaching nut. Disconnect the necessary electrical connectors and, if equipped with air conditioning, remove the air compressor support bracket attached to the left front intake manifold attaching bolt. Remove the EGR tube and the three EGR spacer attaching screws from the manifold, then work the EGR spacer loose from the manifold along with the gasket. Remove the PCV line and the intake manifold attaching bolts in reverse order of the tightening sequence before removing the intake manifold, taking care to break the RTV sealant if necessary. Remove the manifold side gaskets, and if disassembly is required, take out the thermostat housing, thermostat, water temperature sending unit, thermactor check valve, and all vacuum fittings. The heater outlet and water bypass tubes are pressed in and not serviceable; if damaged, replace the manifold. If disassembled, apply a coat of pipe sealant to the temperature sending unit, vacuum fittings, spark knock sensor/adapter, and electric PVS, then install them in the manifold. Install the thermostat with the outlet side up, apply a 1/8-inch bead of RTV sealant to the thermostat housing, and tighten it to the specified torque. Install the thermactor check valve using a new gasket in the manifold, apply RTV sealant to each cylinder head mating surface, and press new intake manifold gaskets into place using the locating pins. Apply a 1/8-inch bead of RTV sealant at each corner where the cylinder head joins the cylinder block and a 3/4-inch bead at each end of the cylinder block where the manifold seats against it. Carefully lower the manifold into position on the cylinder block and heads, using the locating pins to prevent smearing the sealant. Apply a thin coat of pipe sealant to the manifold attaching bolt threads and the underside of the bolt heads, then install the 12 bolts and two stud bolts, tightening them in the numerical sequence to the specified torque. Reinstall the remaining components in reverse order of removal, fill the cooling system with the specified coolant, start the engine, and allow it to reach operating temperature while checking for leaks. Finally, shut the engine off and retighten the manifold bolts while the engine is still warm.
