I'm curious are you talking about the ones in the venturi?if so I've never taken them out. but if i had to id screw a screw in them and pull them like the idle tubes. not to sure if a guy would be able to reuse them or not. fwiw

beertracker:
Yes, the ones in the venturi.   Good point about re-using them.  bt

     I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere a method for removing them.  It was explained by a Pontiac guy, I'll try to find it and give you the link.  May I ask why you want to remove them ?  Frank.

beertracker:
It's a remove the nozzles if I have to situation & I hope I don't have to.    The original problem was fuel dripping from the primary nozzles with all throttle blades fully closed at idle.   I tried changes to idle tubes, down channel restriction & idle bypass air with Cliff's guidance.   Then I read some where about tapping the primary nozzles slightly away from venturi to reduce the vacuum signal the nozzle sees.   So I tried this but haven't tested it yet.   

My concern is if I moved the nozzles too far away from the venturi and have to reposition them back; how do I do this?   I hope I don't have to.
