Hey Rich,
I when out and looked at mine and I believe it is just a press fit in the valve cover. At least that looks like the way it held in. I am assuming you still have the valve covers on your car. I think if once you take the cover off you my be able to gently tap it out from the inside.

It has a cam lock style fitment. You twist it and it comes out. I can't remember which way counterclockwise I think. Two small tabs on either side of the neck slide into grooves in the cover and lock it in place.

Well there was a tab on the lower part of the neck before I broke it off but I don't see any tab on the top and that baby ain't moving so far.

Great to hear Rich. I know when I took mine off it was stuck pretty good too.

Next question regarding the plug located beside the oil filler neck. I got mine unplugged and the connection removed, but do I need to remove the black, circular piece that the plug connects to? Atleast for powder coating anyway?

I used a large socket from the back after I removed the cam cover and hammered them out. Installation reverse of removal.
