Intake/exhaust manifold nut trouble

You would think so, but that just wasn't the case. The added metal from the auto-choke mount made it practically impossible to get any extension to reach the nut at a workable angle. I didn't have a universal joint attachment either, and I doubt that would've worked either.

I did manage to get the nut off today though. It took me at least 2 hours and fiddling with several wrenches going between the exhaust and the engine block, huge pain. Will definitely be trying to remove some metal from the auto-choke mount to make that nut more accessible!

The chock well has ZERO interference doing it like I described. you go in from underneath. The choke well isn't even there. I JUST did this two days ago.....and HUNDREDS of other times in the past. I just told you how to do it and it works. It's not a huge pain at all, it's VERY easy. All you have to do is read and comprehend what I said.

I can go out and take a picture if you like, of the socket on the nut with the extension coming out from under the intake. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. I've been doin this stuff since 1974.
