Metal button on cylinder head-intake side

[911pickup]

I've just about to start my dual 40 Weber install on my stock 1600 dual port engine when I noticed these two metal buttons on the intake port.

Obviously, they will have to be removed to install the dual carb manifolds, but I'm not sure how to do it.

How do I get these off?

Grab it with a pair of vice grips and slowly twist out.

ViseGrips.

It's just a locating dowel.

Or mark your manifolds and drill a hole to fit the pin...would be simple

Thanks-I'll try the vise grips tomorrow.

light tap's back & forth then it should pull out just fine.
