Thanks everyone, I just noticed a typo. It was supposed to say "without a manual". I don't have one. Would like to get a factory service manual some time though. It took about an hour for me to tear it down, making note of what bolt went where (not all upper plenum bolts and studs were the same length). When the parts arrived the next day, it took about an hour and a half to reassemble. To give those still in doubt how simple this repair actually is, there was no cussing or throwing of tools involved.
I had read enough on this board and another to get an idea of what to look for and was aware of the plastic tabs breaking on the poppet valves, fortunately for me, mine didn't break. While this was a pretty simple repair, I'm a seeing is believing kind of guy and thought posting some picutres might help some others that might not be so sure about the repair, now maybe they can get on to better running and better gas mileage.
