Default Plenum Cover: How to install?

I just got my Plenum cover today in the mail and I couldnt figure out how to put it on. It looks like there are clips on it, but i cant get it to clip.

Thanks

The post you removed with the spark plug wires has a lip that fits the underside of the plenum. Then there are four "arms" that come down and lock. get the top centered first (hold up at a 45 degree angle so you can line it upthen when the top gets fit on that lip bring it down and sucure the arms. It will fit so snug you wont even need the screw.

It should pull right out give it a tug and it will come out. Now put those plugs down as far as they will go to get them out of the way.
Back first, then push the arms inward to fit in the intake. It seems hard but not to hard once you do it the first time.
