I just posted a Engine Painting Tips document, also taken from the newsletter and expanded on, and you will see high marks for the Rustoleum Engine Paints. I'm a big fan at this point.

Looks like you had some good results. I did my air breather housing this summer with that Rustoleum paint and was really happy with how it turned out.

I am pretty sure I would have went at it with the impact wire brush, then maybe acetone and steel wool. The control links were not perfect as it at a really thick layer of undercoating and not spending days trying to get it back to metal they were cleaned smoothed down and cleaned over as is. I generally use an engine paint grade primer & paint. I'm now a faithful rustoleum engine paint fan but can't remember what I used on the rear end. It could have been the Rustoleum gloss black but might have been another brand at tht point.

That looks really great! Did you happen to sandblast it or grind it down before painting it? What type of paint did you use?

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
