Trying a picture. Someone had posted a while back about miniature electroplating kits. This is a result. I was not going for a stock look, as I cleaned these up to sell, since I didn't have use for them. Since they were identical, I tried for a custom look and advertised them for use in a dual setup.

 

Test worked and they look great!!!

 

WOW! Those look terrific! What did you do to them?

 

Thanks. I bead blasted the bodies, then replated them with zinc. That was followed by a dip in chromate for the the choke linkages and acc. pump link. I had removed the brass cable block prior to replating, then remounted it. The second carb does not have it since it is for a dual setup. The bases were cleaned with electrolysis, then dipped in phosphoric acid, then immersed in 200* homebrew phosphate solution, like Ford did on bases and iron distributor bodies years ago. I hate using paint on items that did not have it originally.

WOW those look really really good!!!

 

They do look good nice and clean now...

 

Beautiful! Had my glass bowl-style Holley 1bbl.'s rebuilt by a guy in Grants Pass, OR. Came back similar -- like museum pieces!

 

Probably the same guy that posted these pictures, and the same guy that did an outstanding job on my 8RT Holley! Nice work Owen.

 

Wow, those look brand new, should make selling them for top $ easy.

 

I need to have my glass bowl Holleys rebuilt. Do you have the guy's contact info?

Thanks, Ilya
