You have to shoot it with a CO2 fire extinguisher to loosen it. Try shooting some brake clean down by the base or if that is NG you need to heat the DIZZY with a torch. If it is stuck on the upper portion it will loosen up. If it is stuck lower well that is an issue. You can also heat the motor up by driving it and try twisting it with the engine VERY HOT!! This is a prime example of FORDS better IDEAS and sludge build up!!! If you choose Heat be careful and try not to melt the front manifold seal. Good Luck!! The engine must be slugged up and the DIZZY has varnish build up on it. You need to see where your timing is and if it is OK leave it alone. I have actually snapped off DIZZYS trying to loosen them!!!

What gets me is when I check out Jeg's or Summit racing they have a lot more carbs. than fuel injection manifolds. Some of their carbs. are fuel injected. I guess it has to do with looks under the hood and that EFI really doesn't have that many parts.

Their is a reason for that. They really cant make a manifold to outperform the stock EFI systems.( not set in stone but mostly true some will argue and some companies make manifolds that do make more HP. Like on the LS motors But the new LS3 intake flows better Just saying) I have dynowed many aftermarket EFI manifolds like EDELBROCKS small ford unit. The GT 40 makes more HP. If some are stuck in CARB mode you are at a disadvantage. Carbs are antiquated they do not have the drivability of FFI. Carbs are no way as tunable or do they make an engine perform at their max efficiency. I have not tuned a carbed motor in years. Excluding some DIE HARD CARB GUYS that are stuck in antiquated engines that are CARBED. Next generation will be DIS and many new engines are already their. The new LT1 is DIS and makes 468 HP. That is stock from the GENERAL!!!

(in my best WV drawl) Welllll I've had it with OBD-I EFI on a modded engine, my 331 is going to be carbed... Don't need no fancy dyno tunin', with just a wideband o2 gauge(that I already have), box of carb jets, and a timing light I can tune it myself...
