I hope to God some of you will be able to help me put this thing back together later LOL
Had to remove the heads because the driver's side has two exhaust manifold bolts broken off in it; courtesy of the previous owner's mechanic. I'm going to take the opportunity to replace gaskets and such on both sides. I'm no pro on the Chevy 350 engine (new at it actually) so even though I took pictures I'm sure I'll forget where some things went. Also, replacing the factory carb with an Edelbrock 1406 and removing the smog pump and associated items and replacing the entire exhaust, headers and all (which is why I'm doing all this in the first place). There are a few sensors that seem to be smog related that I'm taking out of the equation; will this light up my dashboard like a Christmas tree? Will I run into compatibility issues with anything?
Also, the bracket that attached to my power steering pump is broken (might explain some weird squeeking noise I had been hearing), anybody have one I can buy from them? I have an '83 GMC K1500 pickup.
Thanks y'all.
