Update:

I disassembled every component of the carb including the butterflys but there was corrosion inside the main body that the chemtool was just not getting, not even with a variety of modified cleaning brushes I was using. It began to start stripping the plating off the rest of the carb, the plating would rub off with my fingers but the corrosion remained. It was not really deep pitting just very stubborn. At that point I took it to a carb shop to have it bead blasted and powder coated. However, he would not do this unless he rebuilt the carb. Fine, whatever. With a 2.5 day turn around it was well worth it. I spent the time modifying two throttle cable brackets into one and fabbing a throttle position sensor bracket and linkage. After picking up the carb I immediately opened it back up and performed all the modifications per Cliffs instructions and a few more in his book I thought were good as well as my own consisting of blocking all the un-needed and unsightly vacuum ports. Fingers crossed, I hope to have it and the repop HO intake on the car tomorrow. PSN is next weekend and I’ll take a week just to detail the car.
