should come right out ,no problem.No crossmembers,just unbolt it.If you pull the drain plug like the night before you pullthe pan it will make the project less messy.I would suggest using a gasket material called"the right stuff" from the local parts house and not use the gasket at all.It's like silicone but really tough,lastsfor ever ,never leaks. It is a bit pricy tho.Use a spray can of intake cleaner to get the block and pan nice and clean before the "silicone"

e surepower yourplug wires are securely attached both to your plug ends and the distributor/power block. Be sure your plugs are gapped correctly too. I had this same problem and was that my cables were not making the connection they needed to.... I could have sworn they were plugged on the ends of the SPs correctly too! Check it out! I bet thqt is where your isue lies.

When you turn the key on, you should get power to the pump for 3 seconds from the pump relay. If not, check the power from the relay back to the key switch. No power to the starter could be the neutral safety switch or again the key switch.

Oh, it will let you know, and maybe in a not too nice way. So be sure! How many wires do you have for your starter? Most have only two- a big battery cable end and a small wire for the solenoid mounted on the starter. The big wire should be obvious where it goes on a stud and is tightened down with a nut. Only the big wire goes there, no others with it. Now on the solenoid on the starter there shouyld be a small stud or two with some very small nuts on them. The one with two nuts is the one the small solenoid wire hooks over and is tightened down with the outer small nut. GM used to have a standard color, purple, for the small solenoid wire. If you happen to have another small wire, put them together on the same stud. If your starter is a little different, or still unsure, have somebody check it before you hook up the battery and try it. You may also have different connectors than rings that slip over studs.
