Re: tune up question

You don't need to remove the intake manifod to do a tune-up.

If the reason you're anticipating removing the intake is to gain 
better access to the distributor cap and wires, the easy approach is 
to remove the two allen screws that hold the fuel mixture unit to 
the intake manifold. The mixture unit is connected to the throttle 
body and W pipe with a bellows that has flex to it, so you can lift 
the back of the mixture unit sufficiently to gain access to the 
distributor cap and wires.

If you're taking the intake manifold off for other reasons, then you 
should consider taking advantage of having your engine torn apart to 
address some other service items that are otherwise difficult to get 
to. For example, if your water pump is suspect, then this would be 
the ideal opportunity.
