The others are pretty easy to find, reach and remove. It's that one mounting stud that causes most of the aggravation.
I just checked out that factory assembly manual from bishko on Ebay, and it says:

"Please note: These Assembly Manual reproductions use the original assembly plant pages for reproductions. These pages were used at the plants and in some cases contain dark speckling, blocked out areas and in some rare cases are missing pages or sections. They have been cleaned and processed to provide the best possible reproduction available. If and when a better original appears, these reproduction manuals will be updated. eb8604R"

Do you actually have one? How does it look? why would they block out some of the pages? I own the chilton that covers 70-87, which is pretty decent but doesnt cover the head bolts torque pattern on my 455. it covers the rest of the years but 71, maybe i overlooked. It seems like a pretty good deal, I just thought I would ask someone and see if it was to good to be true.
