Manifold Clean Up
When I purchased my '72 the guy I bought it from threw in a a new Edlebrock Performer carb. After installing it I noticed the huge diff between the clean carb body and the oxidized alum Edlebrock manifold. Any tip or trick to clean up the manifold? Thx

Re: Manifold Clean Up
should be glass beaded its the only thing I've seen really clean one ,don't sand blast it will rough up the aluminum and it eats away material

Re: Manifold Clean Up
if you wanted to spend a bit of time and remove it from your engine you can always sand and polish it

Re: Manifold Clean Up
You can glass bead it and then clear it with a high temp clear too.
