If you look at Post No. 13, first pix from the angle that that pix was shot that is where to saw it off from. I removed the fuel pump and f.p. stand, then removed the carb. then with a saws-all we sawed the filter brt. off.\
I see this car does not have 8BA heads and thermostat housing are in the

middle of head. That might be a problem getting the blade down low on the brt.? After cutting it off I filed the edge with a file and then painted the edge to keep it from rusting. The brt. cut much better than expected. Remove a couple of plugs also. Cover the holes.
