Cleaning a Edelbrock intake ??
I just got a almost new Edelbrock intake ($42 on Ebay) it's not very dirty, just a few smudges. What works best on these rough cast aluminum manifolds for a touch up job?
Thanks............

Carburetor cleaner & a toothbrush will get grime off.

what about antifreeze stains? My water neck leaked fluid on mine and I can't get it off.

Like cableguy said...... I used Eagleone aluminum wheel cleaner. It has acid in it so be careful what you get it on.
