Ok TJ I did get started on it today--Mondays are my day off, but I had other chores to do also. Since I'm on an almost non-existant budget I decided to pull the good one and swap it to the one for the '70, which gave me a little practice in removal and it came out without destroying the snout!
I had to go into town for a roll of welding wire so I stopped at Tractor Supply since it was on the way for a long reach clamp. Much closer than Harbor Freight.
I got the flat bill and the long reach locking pliers at TSC (pic1) for $9.99 in a combo deal so I wouldn't be out much if it didn't work.
Pic 2-7 show how I had to cut the clamp up to fit into the air cleaner snout and get to the position to press on the tab for installation.
Pic 8 is looking up the snout to where the clamp has to reach in pic 9.
Pic 10 is bending up the tab and bracket to remove the good one.
Please pay no attention to the engines in the pics-----
