I just did 2 more carbs in it with 4 squirts of dishwashing liquid and its worked OK. 6 mins and then turned the parts over for another 6 minutes and its cleaned up pretty good. Could do better but at least I'm not melting them now. Will explore the Purple stuff or the ultrasonic cleaner fluid as I need to work out a safe way to use it before I go jamming my Holley parts in there.

Probably recommend the shit hotel. Last year that last day was a long slog, and we were pretty late back at the end of the day knocking on 5pm I think from memory.

I’ve just run it back through the cleaner for 10mins in plain water and it looks heaps better. fingers crossed it doesn’t blow up in corrosion again tomorrow.

~40deg

I ran it once and it looked a bit odd after a few hours and I thought that might have been from needing the cleaner rinsed off, so ran it again to clean it up, then rinsed it jn a bucket of water and dried it. came back to it a couple of days later and found that…

I think it went in for 2x 5min sessions at 40deg. i might run it again with just water, and see what happens.

Aha. Yeah I used the green stuff at a fairly grunty mix

So, brought an ultrasonic cleaner, filled it with simple green and water. cleaned a carb. then it did this… Any idea what I’ve done wrong? have i stripped the anodising off? is there any saving it?

I have been thinking about these engines, and was wondering if they Toyota Lego onto any RWD gearboxes?

Haha I genuinely thought you didn't own this any more

I feel like I've brought U-bends from NP Steel Supplies in the past, but I can't quite remember if thats where I got them. I did the exhaust on dads mustang out of whatever it was that I brought and had no issues with oval bends.

I have headers on my 68 and also had to use the bracket to lower the end of the ram. I made the bracket myself. Word of warning though, the extra leverage that it puts on the bracket tore mine out of the chassis... I had to weld in some new threaded inserts and reinforce it.

I've joined the group and messaged him yesterday. No seat. And I think a 66 seat might be different. I'm buying one from a wreckers in Arizona. They're pretty punishing to deal with, but at least they reply to the emails. They must only check their emails in the morning though, as its 24 hours to get a reply, which is pretty painful when I'm in a bit of a hurry with it.

Sorry mate! I've never played with fuel pumps. The pump on my 302 was on it when I got it and has never let me down (until tomorrow of course now that I have said that).

That's all we ever had on dads VX landcruiser for towing. Worked a treat. Little digital keyring pressure gauge and you are set.
