carb cleaner should get it also make sure the flange in the header is not blocked off

coat hanger probably won't work. I've always had luck with a braided wire. Last time I used an old e-brake cable. Frayed the ends just slightly, and put it in the drill. If you are using a long cable, it'll be a little hard to get started, but once it gets going, it works great.

Find a thick braided wire (e-brake cable, clutch cable, etc...) and give that a try.

i finally got it went to ace and got some 1/4 in braided cable and a bottle of liquid plumber worked wonders...

bro its a bitch.. honestly if i whould have known that i could get a bnib intake from foreign American auto parts in dalton for 40 i whould have just got a new one..

Haha, I've felt that way too after cleaning a tough one. Good news is that now that you've done it, if you need to do it again in a few years, it won't be that bad. You'll only be fighting 2-3 years of build up versus the probably 10-20 years that you just fought through.
