It takes less than a minute. You just pull the springs off with your fingers and then lift the pan right off (it requires a little maneuvering, but not much). No need to remove the air cleaner, or anything else for that matter. I tune my carb with a vacuum gauge. I honestly don't know how I would get the hose on the base of my Holley with my fat stubby fingers if the Turkey Pan was on there. Being able to pull it off makes a huge difference when working on the carb.

Geez, was I way off. I always thought that the turkey pan was sandwiched between the carb and the manifold, much like a plenum spacer would be.

A normal one is; my custom fabricated two-piece Turkey Pan was specifically designed to be easily removable.

Ah, so I wasn't THAT far off

Any chance you could post a shot of the carb with the pan off to get a good look at the stationary part that stays on the engine, and the underside of the pan to see how it's fabricated and mounted? Easily removable sounds like a great idea. Thanks.

Take a look at the three shots I posted on the first page of this thread.
