Yes I detached the shield from the original cast iron intake and reused the original rivets (they're kind of like little spikes) and then drilled four holes to stake the shield underneath the Edelbrock and eventually sold a car that had the Edelbrock intake and probably junked the factory intake.

OK you guys, I remember what happened to the factory intake...
Friend had a two barrel intake and already had a 4 barrel carburetor.
I explained that I removed the shield and he didn't care, so we wrer butting up the intake and was about to fire up the car, and one of us said "...where's the Cresent wrench?"
Yep, it was in the lifter valley/galley.
Thank God I'm not an airplane mechanic!
