Re: [FWDLK] KEEPING CARBURETORS LOOKING LIKE NEW???

Ron:

When I rebuilt my dual quads I used the carburetor bronze and silver carburetor spray from Eastwood. Today after about ten years they still have those colors, but are dirty from a bit of oil spray and soot from backfiring. It would be tough to go back and spray them unless they were removed from the car.

I also used high temp glossy black spray on the cast iron bases and they are still nice and black although not so glossy.

As I remember, I pickled the cast iron carburetor bases (throttle bodies) in rust fix (phosphoric acid) to keep them from rusting.

     Can anybody tell me how to keep the carburetors looking like new, at car show I see cars with dual carbs that look likes new and the cars are not really driven that much. My dual carbs even after being rebuilt turn a dull milky gray with small white spots. Of course I am not driving them much they are just sitting inside until show time.

     I just wonder if there is a clear spray that can be used on them that is heat proof and will last?

          Any suggestions are welcome!!!!!

             Thank You in Advance,
