Kerosene on a rag?

Got 20 bucks? this is how I did mine. And some elbow grease. The do make a spray to soften it up. Goes on as a foam and once the foam is gone you scrape it off.

I used a hand held torch. The little can uses the camping stove gas type. And a heavy paint scraper. Once the majority is off went to a scotch brite pad on a grinder.

The transmission went out in my dad's car Wednesday and it's not really worth putting a new trans in or rebuiliding it so he's going to buy the car off us I just bought my wife back in May and she is getting a SUV. So since thursday I've been on the hunt for a new can and haven't had much time to work on mine till today but now it's getting close to mating the two halfs together. I had a rockwell oscillating tool from a previous project with a scraper blade on it and it works surprisingly well. I'd say with some acetone, kerosene and/or a grinder the rest will come off what the scrapper won't get.

Thinking I could get by with a 650 or would a 750 be better?

Here's a quick video of it running with just the headers.

I would run a holley 3310 vac secondary carb on a mild 350.
A double pumper 650 or 750 is a little more tunable but will suck more gas.
A secondary quick change spring kit can be had for the 3310.

Hey what do you think about the street demon carbs like these?

I've heard a lot of people say good things about them. I'm not the type of driver that has a lead foot all the time and I don't figure I'll be doing any racing. I like the looks of them and they are supposed to be pretty reliable and the price isn't to bad either.

Justin looks like you are making progress. Hope you get the car situation figured out soon so you can get back to your car.

I have also. Have several friends who have them and love them.
