Here's is my thread. Hope this helps. Also you can repack the CV joints as well. Mine needed it.

OK, engine out....well kind of.

I decided to put 2x4 spacers between the engine plate and frame which allowed the engine to slide front far enough for easy access. Putting the engine on the bench isn't a one man job!
What part number coils did you use? I'm guessing there is no way to check the coils for spark before reassembling?
Most of the time was spent cleaning parts! I'm the kind of person that has to have things looking new.
