Good to hear. Was hoping I wouldn't need to buy a new radiator yet. Should I be worried by the rust under where the carb spacer sits? I'm afraid of what the inside of the manifold looks like. The carb hasnt been on it since 2006, but it has had stuff covering it to keep mice or whatever could have got inside out.

Just exploring around, I tried popping a valve cover off but they are stuck good, bolts came out but I couldnt get the covers to budge. I looked inside the cap and everything i could see was really clean and lubed. Im gonna try to rubber mallet them off tomorrow if I get the chance.

I had a Jeep that I modified quite a bit so I know how to turn wrenches some, suspension work, electrical and basic car maintenance, but this is my first time working on something like this. I dont have the tools to pull the engine/tranny and am trying to keep this in my own garage as much as possible. What would be the first thing you guys would do after flushing fluids? This will be a learning experience for me.
