What treatment did you use to clean the aluminum carb bodies up so nicely?
From Bing bling to Snowflake bling.
Brook,
Well done, you are to be commended again for a well thought out documented procedure to a job a lot have considered too technical to accomplish. With some study, self-intuition and research this job is not that difficult. A picture is worth a thousand words, literally.
I think you've found out on your own once you get your hands on this job along with some focus, preparation and appropriate tools ... it all makes perfect sense.
Thanks again - it's been my experience; the time and effort in preparing the tutorial and instructions is much more labor intensive, difficult and complicated than the job itself. Another opportunity to thank you, Snowbum and others who take the time and effort to peck away at the keyboard towards shared knowledge and experience.
Respectfully,
Mike Valenti
Mike,
I completely agree with you on the fear and trepidation that accompanies this bit of work. My hope is to show that at least with the steel sleeve snowflake wheels, this is pretty straight forward since removing the outer bearing race in the steel sleeve is simple.
Best.
Brook.

I am in the Denver area. Noticed this rebuild project thread and tossing in a loan request for an exhaust nut wrench.
As far as I know the 74 engine has never been rebuilt (leaks oil from push rods, oil pan, lacks power).
Before buying the exhaust wrench, I thought I would ask for a loaner.
I am thinking I will have to cut off the exhaust nuts and the purchase would be a waste.
thanks in advance
