The carb base came out nice enough, but the linkages need attention. The only way to get them separated is to remove the butterflies. I’ve done it in the past, but unless I really need to I’m not going to try and remove those small screws that have been peened to stay in place and then try to get the butterflies back in their correct position. The linkage is working fine it’s just ugly.
Ditto for the choke and secondary butterflies. Not pretty. Just cleaned with a scotch brite pad. they’ll be hidden under the air cleaner 🙂
More bits and pieces that have some corrosion. I’ll just clean them up with a wire brush and leave them as is with a nice patina. This car sat, likely outside for many years and so a lot of the exposed metal under the hood corroded. Parts that I can’t clean up with a wire brush will get sandblasted and painted.
Primer coat on the base plate linkage, springs, etc – other parts are hanging to dry. I’ll give them a coat of gloss black which should look presentable even if they are a bit rough from corrosion.
