You should be able to move it with your lungs. Even an old phart like me can do that.
THey should move easily. Suck on it hard, put your tongue over the end and then release it. It should pop back.
WE might need an "R" rating for this thread soon!!

Ah, I was wondering if I should be able to move it like that earlier. Guess I shoulda posted this hours ago...

Why would you get a GM HEI? Just wondering your opinion

I'm a purist, I'd rather spend 200 bucks for something I know I can get 100k miles with, at a minimum, than 50 bucks for something that may last a year or a day. When a real GM HEI module cost more than a whole chinese off shore Skippy distributor, you tell me.

If you decide to go with Skip no worries, get 2 and put one in the glove box, you will need it.
