I took off all the stuff on top of it and the distributor. All I found were 12 bolts. Took them off and the thing is like glued on.. Any advice on how to pry this thing off? Or did I maybe miss a bold somewhere?

This project is never going to end......

 

It is going to be stuck on there. I had to pry mine off.

 

Mine was stuck also, I took a heavy rubber mallet and whacked it on each side twice and it was very obedient after that.:lala:

 

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure nothing was hiding on me... I actually had to pry a little with my breaker bar....

Hey, so thats off and the valley is just caked in crap... What is the best way to clean that out, without it all going into the oil?? Or maybe it shoudl go in there, I am going to change it before the first fire...

Now if I can just get the heads to come loose : )

 

I have used various items to pull stuck intakes off, but the best was last time we put 2 fairly think sticks inside the throttle body openings and pried up w/ gentle pressure, making sure not to break the wood, until it came off.
