Default manifold removal

Hi,i just done the same as you are about to do yourself.Its not a hard job to do but take some pictures first so you can look back and check what vacume fits where.Make sure you buy some new manifold gaskets(DONT REUSE THE OLD ONES)took me around 40 mins to get the manifold off.Hope that helps.

How desperate are you looking to get it done. I have a 97 classic and intend of doing the throttle Bodmin the next month or so I will make a full threat for you on it if you want?
