Rear seal gave out and the oil level was LOW!
The rear has a Locker in it.

Ya, my budget don't have the room to change gears so I'll leave them in.

So here we go

Where to start
Unhooking the Batt. was the 1st move

I just started up top and got everything unplugged that I could reach then climbed under the car and removed the starter and unhooked it and all the trans plugs and what not.

Unplug the vacume lines off this

She snakes down in behind the computer, through the fire wall and into the inside of the car.

You have to remove the Passenger side trim that runs up under the dash.
There is a pesky screw right down there

Under the dash you have to find the Blue, White and Black C210, 220, & 230 plugs.

Don't forget to unplug the A/C plug on the side of the A/C box.

Then she should slide right out

Fans, water pump, coil,

Now because I have to drop the oil pan to get the timing cover off I removed my oil level sensor

[Phantom409]

Hmmmmm what's this
New Uploads 157..jpg

When I get to it I'll have to loosen up my rockers so I removed my valve covers too.
I also removed my Intake so when I add my Electric water pump I can drive the pump shaft out

And that is where I stopped.

The rear is getting a whole new bearing set in it also.

The Opti is a AC Delco w/ 3000 miles and the MSD cap has about 10,000.
I planed on selling it along with my MSD 6AL.

I'm keeping the wires, they only have 1500 miles on them.
I plan on using them for my swap.
They sell the same wire for the LS cars so I'll just adapt mine for what I want.

are you getting rid of your dual fans too?

can I get in line for the MSD box and the fans if your selling those too?

I need my cooling fans
I take them off for better access to the crank hub.

Parts I'll have for sale are the MSD Box (have to check with someone I told about it 1st to see if the can afford it but yes you can), Coil, & Opti.
