    Go fishing, a small magnet on a telescoping rod should catch it. You can get them for a couple $ at Harbor Freight.

    And the bait of choice is a small dash of 10w30. Overcast usually produces better fishing results, but these things can still be caught during full sun. Sometimes chumming the hole with more parts will entice the correct one to bite. Good luck and happy fishing!

    yea it is right next to firewall.. by the heater core.. I may have to take the hood off, but fishing will be the order of the day..

    (If I have to take the manifold off I'm going to change cams)

    goose,
    I keep one of those telescoping magnets (about the size of a pen) in the tool box just for those fishing expeditions. Turns out its a handy devil, I use it often enough.
