Can they "swallow" pills?

Is it possible for the line restrictor pills to be "swallowed" or blown, and the hoses themselves still be in place? I'd hate to tear it apart to remove the restrictor hoses to check on the pills if I don't have to.

I can feel them, so they must be there. Maybe they are clogged up? Does that ever happen? Blocked restrictors would result in high boost spikes, would it not?

I'm going to pull the hoses and check. Didn't I read on the forum that Holley .59 jets will work?

Thanks! This forum rocks. Anytime I don't have to go to the dealer is a sweet day.
