Difficulty level for manifold gasket replacement
Can anyone tell me the difficulty level for changing out the exhaust / intake manifold gasket on a 1972 240Z?
I have "decent" mechanic skills, but not a pro.
Thanks in advance,
Danny

Fairly easy. 
It's just time consuming. The 240Z/260Z manifold setup is a lot more basic than the fuel injected 280Z/280ZX. You can always follow the procedure in the Haynes / FSM: www.xenons30.com/reference

Can not tell you how much a time consuming task can turn into a hair pulling task.
Once you get the intake/exhaust off, make sure you scrape off the old gasket (I had to resort to using a circular wire brush on a dewalt to get it all off)
Just don't break any bolts =(!
