Changing 302 thermostat
Can anyone give me an easier way to change my thermostat? I can barely get a short open end wrench on the bottom bolt. I have to losen my distributor and take my belt off to get to the bottom one. It's an 89 model motor that I put an intake and carb on. I kept the serpintine belt system, so the thermostat housing may be in a slightly different place than with the EFI set up. I may be able to replace the hex head bolts with allen heads and gain some clearance. Anyone know the size and pitch of the bolts?

Nah, I've tried my universal. My water pump for some reason, has a usless corner cast into it that covers about half of the bolt. I can see no reason what so ever for the corner other than for some finish machining operation at the factory. That's what's holding me back. That's why I think a set of allen head bolts will help me out.
