Leaking as in a vacuum leak?

It's not hard at all, sepecially on a carb'd car. It's just a matter of popping off your fuel line, taking off any wiring to intake sensors, unhooking the vacuum lines, you may have to pop the distributor out, making note where the rotor is pointing, of course. What else....

That's about all I can think of off of the top of my head.

When you're reassembling it, toss the front and rear cork gaskets in the garbage and use a think bead of RTV. Make sure to change your oil...that's about it.

You could try that but it's really not that hard to do -- you could do it in an hour and a half, including the oil change.

Where is it leaking?
