Re: Pulling Engine

[Craig Perry <cperry@fw.waterpik.com>]

Dennis, 
Having just recently done this on a 69B, I think I used the rear exhaust 
manifold stud and the alternator bracket bolt hole on the front. I removed the 
exhaust manifold stud and screwed a bolt into the stud hole to use. I did the 
same for the alternator bracket bolt (i.e. used a different bolt so as to not 
gaul up the one I need..)  Just attach the chain and washers to the bolt before 
screwing into the hole. It really helps to have one of those 'winding' leveling 
devices on the engine hoist to help angle the engine to get the tranny to clear 
the engine bay. I think I also put the back of the car up on jack stands to 
help getting the engine/tranny out. 
Also something that really helps is to take a lot of pictures of the engine bay 
before anything is disconnected. Helps for re-connecting some of those 
hoses/throttle-choke linkages etc. when the engine's been out for 3-4 
weeks.(Where/how did this go again??..)

Good luck!

I'm about ready to pull my engine and transmission on the 71 B,  any
suggestions on as to where to hook the chain onto the engine?  First
time for me to pull an engine.
