Hello Fellow C3ers!
It's been a while! Hope everyone is well!
I recently removed my Q-Jet and had it rebuilt...sweet! I purchased some red plug wires, red vacuum hoses and red plug wire holders. While the carb is off, I'm looking at my manifold and thinking, "man, this looks nasty," grease/fuel/carbon stains and it's orange...I want either satin or red.
Question for the forum: should I attempt to remove manifold and clean by hand? How difficult a job is removal? -or- Should I clean it while still on engine? Tips for cleaning if left on engine? Tips if off? Things to watch our for?
Thanks in advance!
