Well, I think my first repair will be what I'm pretty sure is a warped exhaust manifold. I've asked around a bit but I can't get a straight answer on whether or not I'll need to take the heads off and have them machined, or if it's more common that the manifold is the only part that's warped.
Then I don't really know how to do it. It seems simple enough, I think: just unbolt the manifold, replace, and torque to spec (maybe alternating bolts to torque it evenly and gently), but I don't know if there's anything else I'll need to do.
After that I'll have to do the rest of the exhaust (no problem, I can handle that), a general tune-up and new plug wires (again, no problem); but then I'll have to tune the carburetor... :(
