The "Derby" is the large dome-shaped cover on the primary. The primary is on the left side of the engine. Be VERY careful when removing the derby fasteners. The screws on the derby are very prone to stripping. Insure that any tool is inserted all the way to the bottom of the slot before placing any force on the fastener.
