righto, all the testing is out of the way and we're good to go.
i started with a normal old, run of the mill 4160 style 3310 750 vacuum secondary holley.
and here's a picture of a 600. i forgot to take a shot of the 750
and some bowls i bought off Ebay (thanks Clevo)
first up, the carby was stripped to it's undies and everything soaked to clean 30 years of gunk off it.
i usually use koala brand degreaser from supercheap for this, but they seem to have changed the recipe and added some detergent that doesn't go well with the aluminium.
like this
so, second time around, i used some liquid carby cleaner. soak the bits in that for 24 hours, followed by petrol for 24 hours.
wash them out in hot water. as hot as you can stand. next time i'll try the dishwasher
then blow dry with a compressor. make sure to blow all the ports out.
then we're ready for paint
