Re: where to start???
In addition to what is mentioned above, i would recommend adding a little marvel mystery oil to each cylinder before installing new plugs. Also might be a good idea to pull the dist and prime the engine with oil before starting. You can buy a priming tool, or make one out of an old dist. In the least, pull the coil wire and crank it over til you get oil pressure before starting it.

Re: where to start???
Decided to take the motors/trans out together. Motor has just the motor mounts still in place.
Need help with the transmission.how many bolts are holding it in place?? I disconnected the shift levers on the drive side of the trans. Should I remove the shift arms completely so they dont get hit during removal or are they ok lefr connected in the engine compartment? When do I disconnect the driveshaft in the scheme of things?
