What's the best way to replace the WUR

I received my rebuilt WUR and it goes on tomorrow. On my '85, it looks like it may be simpler to remove the WUR and its bracket as a unit than to get at the mounting bolt for the WUR. Can anyone confirm that this is correct before I start loosening things?

 

Thanks Larry...as you see I got the unit this afternoon.

 

Easy! It took me about twenty minutes swap out the old WUR with the rebuilt WUR from Larry. Remove two nuts on the intake manifold, unplug the connector and undo the hose and the WUR and bracket are off. Messing with the recessed allen head screws on the WUR base while on the engine would have been a serious profanity inducer. My only minor issue is that the WSM has no torque setting for tightening the manifold nuts.

I saw immediate improvement from the rebuilt WUR; the bogging down is gone and cold drivability is great. My backside dyno detects better power. There's still a little roughness but I expected that. If I'm lucky, it's just air in the CIS that will clear in a few miles. If not, the new WUR puts me on firm footing for diagnosing the real cause.

My first order of business today is to get the idle down. With the correct control pressures restored, it jumped to 2500 RPM cold, 1500 warm. I plan to defeat the fast cold idle completely.
