Finally have a workshop just for my cars and some nifty tools for tuning.
Allen S.E.A. and E.T.A. along with an engine test stand.
Time to put the Dellorto's for the Spider back together.
I've cleaned them as best I could but after being on a car that sat outdoors for too many years they still look ugly.
I do have a blast cabinet but hesitate to use it as I don't want to damage any jet seats or threads.
Blasting will also remove any remaining cad plating from the steel parts, which already have some rust.
Since the Dellortos had to be slightly modified to fit the SPICA conversion manifolds I do not want to put on my Webers.
Saving those for use on another engine and car.
If I plug orifices and blast what becomes the best finish to put on them?
Raw casting would surely turn ugly again very quickly.
I would be fine with a paint finish if it would hold up to fuel over time.
The other "Fun" is sorting out which O-ring and other small items go where.
I took a lot of pics when I dismantled these but they are not really helping me.
I did buy a book, but still the O-rings and other small parts are not easy to identify for placement.
Any tricks?
