Question
I have a simple question but can't find the simple answer on my own. Doing a engine/tranny removal on a 1979 Midget. Have project almost ready for the removal step but lack the ability to remove the Cat convertor so the engine can clear the frame members. The workshop manual says that the "Pre-Heat " elbow ,for the air system ,which is below the intake manifold and blocks one row of bolts for removal of the convertor ,has two tabs to depress and the elbow should come out. I have looked , wiggled and felt all around the elbow and can find no such animal. I do not want to just pry the elbow off and damage it as it appears there is no replacement for this part. surely I am missing something. Any ideas? Thanks
Answer
Hi Mark, The only tabs that I know of are on the preheat duct pipe which is just forward of the lower part of the exhaust manifold. If you can't get the CAT off, just remove the intake and exhaust manifolds. Then tie the whole assembly over to one side and pull it that way.
