Thanks folks. Finally found a manual this morning and dove in.

- Diff cover was installed with no gasket and was seriously leaking and low on fluid.
- Changing plugs was a PITA, especially #8.
- Hoo boy...emissions controls everywhere. Replaced a bunch of bad hoses.

Still need to get through the trans fluid change. Any tips for getting the pan off? Looks like a few tough bolts by the crossmember. Then a final tune of the HEI and I'll call it good for now.
