I managed to extract an errant air shroud (I think thats what those thingys are called) from my 86 8v using a hooked piece of wire and lots of cursing.... I didn't remove the intake.

Could you post this for me Dan? my e-mail is pharked up.


I believe the engine in question is an 8V although I could be wrong. 
In any event, stick a rag in the port so nothing can get into the cylinder 
and root around in there with a screwdriver if you have to.
