Hoping to get it put on by January. Just a quick list I made up. Anything else I need?

Spark plugs (Autolite 103's or AR103s)
antifreeze (use the same stuff for the heat exchanger?)
oil and filter
intake gaskets
180 degree thermostat

Are those Autolights a colder heat range than stock? I know that colder is recommended, and most recommend the NGK TR6s. That's what I'm running, and they are cheap ($1.79 each).

I'm not familiar with that blower, but if it's like mine, you are going to have to possible relocate the PCV tube that stretches across the engine bay. I got rid of mine and used some 5/8" hose routed behind the motor instead.

I also need several small pieces of 1/8 vacuum hose to splice/extend some of the existing vacuum lines.

New belt? Not sure if this is a separate 8-rib setup or uses the existing serpentine belt (like mine).

Relocating any heater hose? Mine required some.

Injectors/maf/fuel pump?

New radiator hose?

I was hoping you'd chime in. lets see...

The 103s are 1 heat range colder. I actually have a set installed right now actually.

Hose for the pcv and drivers side breather. Totally forgot about that.

Vacuum hose..forgot about that as well.

Heater hose I may have to replace the one that runs from the firewall to the manifold.

Injectors..check
Maf..check
Fuel pump..check. SVTF pump installed last winter. Still need to do the PPRV delete

Stock radiator hose should work.
