1750 head gasket replacement

[Dick Stachowiak <stachowiak@domain.elided>]

I believe my 71 1750 Spider was feeling neglected (most of my time has
been going to my GTV project) and has found a way to get more
attention.  It's leaking oil out the head gasket above the #4 exhaust
port. The car has 44,000 original miles on it and other than the head
gasket problem runs very well.  I have very limited time on my hands and
don't want to turn this into a major project.  Like, well the heads off
so might as well do a valve job, and boy this would be a good time to do
this and that and on and on.  This is a spica injected engine and my Car
Disk CD does not cover the 1750 engine, and refers me to the 1600 engine
manual.  Since to 1600 never had Spica, what is the best way to remove
the head?  Can I disconnect the FI lines at the pump and lift off the
head with the intake manifold attached?
