does anybody know a good way to remove the thermostat? I was gonna switch it for a 160 deg. and then put in my chip. The one under the intake. I was pissed I could reach the bolt on the thermostat. On a lighter note I just beat a 65 Fairlane 3 times. One I gave him first move and the other 2 he got ****y and gave me first move. Cant wait to get my chip in.

I used a small socket and got every thign off was pretty simple i think took me 2 hours the first time after that took me 10 mins

 

I usually pop off the throttle body, but I did it once by using a 13mm socket with a built-in universal joint, I think the socket was $9 from Home Depot.

I usually take of the Throttle body only... that seems enough...

 

A swivel is the easiest way to go. You don't have to remove anything.....
