I pulled the front cover bolts and oil pan bolts but theres still a tight hold on it by the AC bracket studs.What esle holds it on?It says 6 bolts but those are pulled already and theres no dizzy on it.

Thats been off for awhile now.Its attached at the dowel pin area right by where the dizzy sits.Stupid engine is starting to annoy me. I have the 6 bolts out the pulley off the oil pan bolts off and still stuck.Tried cranking it with a rubber mallet and nothing.Its held together to tight and don't want to crack the cover so I have to figure something else out.

theres 2 pins that holds it in place u may have to use a flathead screwdriver or a prybar to separate it from the engine .

I'll try prying it a bit more at the pin on that side.Seems to be the only stuck spot.Those 6 bolts are easy to remove so its got to be something small.

ARG!Its at the dowel pin on the opposite the oil metering pump.What is holding it tight there?Nothing is mentioned in the manual of a 7th bolt holding it there.
