They are a press fit - just twist 'em out. I found out when I dented
one during my header install and had to take it out to straighten it
- it was just cosmetic, but I couldn't stand it.....
Good luck with the chip flip flop scheme!

Subject: DML: Too much thinking
Hey list, two questions/thoughts I've been thinking about that I'd
like your
comments on
(yes, no, what are you, crazy? - that kind of thing). These ??'s are
for my
'95 318 CC - but probably apply to all the Daks.
1) Replaced my plugs & wires last week (MSD Helicore's), and in the
process
got very annoyed with the thin metal tubes (towers) that protrude up
around
the plug wire from the engine. I had alot of little crap down in there
around the old plugs, but no way to get it out! With the plugs in
there is
no way to get a tootbrush or anything in to brush it away. With the
plugs
out, well most of it would get into the engine (don't want that!).
Has anyone tried to remove these metal protrusions? Does anyone have
any
ideas on how to clean around them w/out getting it into the engine? I
was
thinking of maybe cutting these off with a Dremel & cutting wheel, but
all
those little metal bits flying around make me a little hesitant.
2) I'm planning on getting the Mopar Perf. SBEC (easy enough) but was
thinking about what it would take to have both chips installed at the
same
time, but control which one you are running through via an A/B type
switch?
I know, the change-out of the chips is pretty easy, but this way you
could
easily switch "on the fly" (go for the stock chip for normal
driving/mileage
& switch to Perf. chip when street dualing, playing around). Since it
takes
the computer a bit to reprogram, would this be worth while? From a
theoretical view, it should work - but I have enough electronics
experience
to know that theory & reality quite often don't match up!
Sorry for the extensive post - I get rolling after a midnight cup of
coffee
& flipping through parts catalogs! Thanks for your assistance.
