I'm going to be attempting this in the spring, and having done this on my old 82, I should be able to get it done right. I will attempt to get pics up of my work if this thread has not been updated by then.

I made a thread a while back on how I did it with my 80 and there is pictures. So far no issues or lung butter. It's easy just study your Hanes manual. Your just bypassing most of the solenoids and what doesn’t get bypassed gets capped off.

Sorry guys, I've long since lost the original pictures and the webspace I was using closed my account during a move and deleted all the copies.

Challer is right though, get a copy of the vacuum diagram and make sure there are no leaks. The Series 1 cars are much easier to clean up than the later models.

Best of luck and happy rotoring!
