Replacing FPR what else should I do?
'85 4+3
My fuel pressure regulator is leaking fuel into the vacuum line so I'll be taking the plenum off to replace it this winter. While I have that off, what else should I do? I figure I'll go ahead and clean up the throttle body because after 22 years it probably needs it. Is there anything else I should do while I have these things apart?

The entire intake is probably full of crap from the PCV and EGR systems. Clean it all out. You could also port the plenum entrance. You'll want to when you pull the TB and see how GM did the casting.
There's not much else that overlaps with that repair. You could bead blast the uppers if they're ugly. I also have some tricks for removing dents from the runners if you need to.
