    IIRC, it's just the 4 bolts. I do recall having to tug at mine a bit after the bolts were out. Guess my gasket was sealed on pretty good. Yours might be as well.

      Yep. 4 bolts. Actually it's studs. You also want the heater (the black plate between the carb and manifold) to stay on the manifold.
