86 upper intake wont come off.
GUys I am new to this site seems great hope someone can help me. I bought an 86 lariat 5.0 efi. Has the smog pump in cab on the floor. I think i can install that my problem is the valve cover gaskets are leaking so bad cant drive due to burning oil on manifold. I did everything the manual said to remove upper intake for rite side gasket all i see is 4 bolts are there some hiding could the gasket be holding it on .I hit it with a wood block an hammer it wont come loose. Also is there an y way to adjust tv cable trans stays in first way to long an then slams into second kid i bought it from said this started after he crossed the spark plug wires makes no sense to me HELP.

HI Goulette55
There is a torx-head bolt right in the center of the upper manifold. you can get an extension rachet and a torx bit to get it.
Located in the middle (front to back, AND right to left) of the manifold.
If you have all the outer AND this pesky center bolt it Should come off.
As for the TV cable, Attach a spring on the tranny lever (on the tranny) to put the shifter in as-far-back as possable now adjust the cable by the TB mount.

Just put the truck in neutral and loosen the retainer for the cable retainer at the engine side. The spring to hold the linkage back at the tranny is just strong enough to take the slop out. You can just have a friend/spouse put pressure on it with their finger. The idea is not to push hard on it but to take the slack/slop out of it since it can wiggle a 1/4 inch or so. The whole procedure takes only about 2 minutes. Once it is ready to go, you just push the ratiner clamp back on and it is adjusted.
There is a more complicated way to do it that is supposed to be better but it takes special tools and mine always worked fine doing it the fast way.
Good Luck,
Lee
