What is the little hose called that goes from the water pump to the intake?

New heads on the way and ready to order all the stuff to put pops truck back on the road.

I plan on doing

New cap and rotor.
Plug wires
Head gaskets
Intake gaskets.
Throttle body gasket
Thermostat and gasket

What am I missing?

Injector O rings?

Also this is a very budget project so let's keep that in mind.

I dont want to do this over and want to make sure I replace all the stuff that will be buried after assembling.

Careful that could get you a nickname...
LOL:poke::D
 
So now that we got that sorted out, any parts or gaskets I'm over looking?
 
Both front and both rear intake manifold bolts usually corrode badly. Sometimes they break during removal. I usually replace those bolts with a new set from Felpro, or at the very least get four from the junk yard, but remove them from center positions on the donor engine.
I think they are said to be torque-to-yield anyway. It works fine with grade five hardware if those are cheaper.
When you put it back together, keep cylinders number five and seven spark plug wires away from each other in the looms to prevent crossfiring.
 
Look into replacing the whole plenum plate. They warp and don't seal, blowing gasket out. Very common problem on the mag's. Hughes Engines sells a kit for this. I've used it many times, works great.

If your going to replace the O rings use brake fluid cleaner instead of the usual carb cleaner. Those o rings will swell up like a donut with the carb cleaner. Ask me how I know!
Also, blast the IAC with some cleaner
