Remember to identify both ends of every connector disassembled. The easy way to do this is to
tape and number each side of the connector the same. The connectors will only work if they’re
mated to the other similar shaped connector. Each connector is different in the car.

At the starter solenoid and coil, disconnect the wires, labeling which wires connect to which screw.
Disconnect the connectors from the headlights and engine harnesses.
Disconnect and remove the coil from the engine compartment wall.
Disconnect and remove the starter solenoid from the same area.

Napa sells a replacement heater hose loop, part number #10743. This part is designed to loop the
heater hose circuit perfectly and it works better than the stock hose, which has two different
inner diameters. Connect the two hard black heater tubes on the engine with the one larger
diameter tube with a bend. Do not kink the hose.
Remove the power steering lines from the pump, catching the fluid in a bucket.
Remove the braided ground strap from the rear driver’s side of the engine.
