Started the process of removing the intake manifold.
Removed the carb.
The distributor has been marked so that it can be re-installed properly.
The tach green wire was cut to allow the harness it was a part of to be moved out of the way. All other engine bay wires/connections are ok.
Drained the coolant from the radiator. Removed the upper radiator hose, the water pump bypass hose and disconnected the heater hoses from the water pump.
From the intake manifold I removed the mechanical water temp sensor and brass manifold fitting and removed the thermostat housing. Also the electrical water temp sensor was left in place but unplugged from the wiring harness.
There is alot of rust/corrosion seen in the thermostat housing and intake manifold.
The heater hoses had alot of rust particles/build up - need to purge the water fromt the heater before reconnecting/re-installing.
Might need to have radiator checked out/rebuilt - it too has alot of rust/corrosion buildup.
Check cylinder heads - there are water jacket inserts that may have rusted through to cause water in oil - remove both valve covers and check
