  Hi, this may be a rookie question, I'm sorry. I've looked around and don't see a food answer. How do I remove the road draft tube off my 8BA. I want to pull the intake and plug those two carb heater holes in the block; I can't figure out how to remove the tube. It seems pretty stuck

  They are in there really tight. I don't know of any tricks other than to wiggle and tug until it gives up.

  Thanks man, that’s what it looked like to me too.

  Tap it back and forth gently with a rubber mallet. It will eventually loosen.
