What does everyone do for the yellow cad plating on the rods? Eastwoods paint system or actually have them cad plated somewhere?





I use an outside plater, there are several colors involved in doing most carbs. Nothing else looks right IMO.

Here are some more pics. This is the port where the A/C equipped cars have that thermostatic air bleed that was on this carb, but the port wasn't drilled.





Here's the bottom:



I started with this:



I removed the plugs with these tools, turning by hand, and this is what came out:



I wish someone told me that the threads go all the way to the front of the carb. I thought the idle screws were smaller than the normal ones, and people tapped the holes for the bigger adjusters. Well, I didn't damage the threads, so all is good. I'll use the adjusters from the Edelbrock if they fit instead of the small ones.



As for that off idle adjuster--if I have problems, I'll just plug the hole.

I just re-used the stock mixture screws. They work just fine, you just need a long skinny straight blade screw driver to reach in there, not a big deal. I picked the lead plugs out of mine with some dental type metal picks.

If you use the bigger screws with the springs, they are less likely to self adjust.
