Do you have to remove the thermostat housing to remove the oil breather housing on an '84? It’s been a couple years since I did the heads, but it seems like I had to remove the thermostat housing to remove the breather--like they intertwined or something. Just trying to make sure I have all the gaskets I’ll need before I start taking it apart… I’m installing one of Carl’s baffle plates.
Thanks! / Bruce

It is easier if you remove the plenum and throttle body. The coolant bridge would allow you to take it off too but that would make a mess and require some new gaskets. The plenum and TB are easy and can be off in less than an hour.

Bringing back an oldie, I am also trying to install the Carl's baffle. The bolt that is on the driver's side of the car seems to underneath the oil fill canister. I currently have the plenum and TB out of the car.
What is the easiest way to get to that bolt?
TIA,

AO

Pay someone else to do it...

As I recall, the drivers side bolt in IN the oil fill resovoir. I recall it being a 10mm.
