Re: Holley Carburetor Question
You may want to check with local machine shops, see what they'd charge to hot-tank it.
Yea,,, you can't "Hot Tank" aluminum. it will disappear in the soup. use carb dip, (aka cold parts cleaner).
And by the way, that is not really bad looking. I've done alot of them way worse off, and had good results with most of them.
The most important part is the air bypass'. If they are plugged (and they are very small and get plugged easy) then you will have issues.
Soak it in a can of carb dip over night then wash with water then soak it again for a couple hours then wash with water again. It should be fine. Dont dip any plastic parts and remember what hole the accelerater pump screws are in when you remove them and put them back in the same holes.
They are real easy carbs to rebuild.
Modifying them is a different story, So DONT!
