We turned a filthy but otherwise intact carburetor into this sparkling pile of parts.



Maybe it will become a carburetor again after the rebuild kit shows up! (?)

Also dropped a fuel tank to clean out a thankfully small puddle of varnish.



We got the top side pretty nice and clean but the bottom side needs more blasting and scraping to get the remaining patches of undercoating off. Once that's sorted it'll get rattled canned and all new rubber.

Speaking of which, boy that sure seems like an unnecessary number of vent lines.

Pulled the valve cover to do the trunnion bearings and it looks minty fresh in there, happy with that. It'll be nice to get rid of the ticking since otherwise this engine is really quiet.



Sup minty fresh LS buddy. :hfive:

This is only car adjacent, but I lubricated the slides on my old toolbox today. The recommended service interval on that is once every 20 years, right? :ohdear:

Corvette loud

I haven't tried this personally, but I've heard good things about this kind of trunk separator and reducing road noise by blocking off the big cavern sitting behind you.

I plan to give it a try if I can find a plain, non-Boomered out version.

Took the NC out of hibernation today.

Lowering a Miata's driving position by a total of 4 or 5 inches is wild and rules.

Every post you make about your car makes me want to do more to mine. Those headlights look rad.

Hell yeah more AI Scout stuff. Get that thing running so you can tell me if the Borgeson steering setup is worth it.
