John,
Just did mine a couple of months ago. Had to dill and tap the manifold
after this b*$&%h of an exercise. Replaced them with hex head set screws
and figure that I'm better off not having to mess with the associated smog
pump, plumbing, diverter valve, gulp valve, etc ( you get the idea). But,
I'm no longer subject to emissions tests in Ohio and couldn't be happier.
Not that any of the state-mandated yayos knew about any of this stuff to
begin with-they never checked. Just for a lark, I'm going to take my car in
after I get it back together and have it checked sans all the federally
mandated stuff.(I know the manager of the test facility). Bet it comes thru
with flying colors.
Cheers,
Jeff " I'll post the results" Johnson
P.S. I checked on the price of the air injection manifold and it was on the
far side of $300!

soaking it down with WD-40 and tried a Bernz-O-Matic torch last night.
Didn't work. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
