My stock 1bbl carter/webber is loose on the plate that attaches to the intake manifold. I am attempting to remove the plate with the carb attached, so I can install a new gasket and tighten it all back down, but I'm having lots of trouble remove what I believe is the second bolt holding the spacer plate to the intake manifold. The first one was easy, facing up and between the carb and the firewall, the second one is between the carb and the radiator, and is upside down and under a bunch of junk. Am I insane? Is this the second bolt holding this stupid thing together? I can't seem to turn it out!

It only takes 78 1/8th wrench turns to remove the bolt. a little at a time.

haha yea the carter weber had that dumb hold down design. Thats another reason why they get vacuum leaks too is because there are only 2 bolts holding it down compared to the 4 that hold down the hitachi's (or 32/36 webers that people replace hitachi's with). I had a carter weber on two cars and could not get it to run correctly on either.
