Very nicely done!
Thanks guys.That is a fantastic result.
Me too. If you're familiar with the little passageways, bead blasting is easy enough to clean out.... but soda is definitely the preferred way to go.I like baking soda for blasting carbs. No worries about plugging passageways because it washes away with hot water.
Been there!Many's the time I've donated blood to the Screwdriver Gods.
Did you know that even a Phillips/JIS screwdriver will pierce human epidermis, given a sufficient combination of velocity and force? Coincidentally (or perhaps not), that particular event will also give you access to words you didn't even know you knew...
Been there!
On a similar note, it's also shocking how fast you can drill a hole in yourself!
Safety wire, industrial razor blades, rusty car bodies.......I like using multiple implements for blood donations. Screwdrivers, wood chisels, punches and occasionally rigid wire.
Until you posted that, I'd forgotten the exhaust heat shield on an oil dribbling Ford Escort that laid 3 fingers open while my hands and arms were black with sludge. 14 stitches, and you're right about the pain of cleaning it out.Oooooh, rigid wire. My favorite! Puncture wound, complete with foreign schmutz injection!
Did that to my right pointer finger once, wound up going to the Doc in a Box to have it incised and cleaned out. Dunno which hurt worse, the original puncture, or watching the Doc take a scalpel to my pinner...
C’mon Jim, it’s pretty obvious you sent those to mailman……Both clean now. I'll make up a list of parts needed, bag 'em and put 'em on the shelf for now.

Yeah, I'd be interested in reading that. In the back of my mind I recall we modded the carbs quiet a bit... but that was all 40-50 yrs ago. I've had a few tokes since then...Jim if you are going to modify the porting or fit chambers you might want to think about doing the Dave F mod to your carbs.
There was a lot of info on it on the net if you cant find it I can try and post it here.
The mod essentially uses R5 jetting with a change to the air jet either drill it out or drill and tap to take jets. It uses a different needle and needle jet too.
