Mike - After a really good cleaning and re-assembly, my son sprayed on a light coat of Dupli-Color #T367 Light Almond Pearl so they would all look the same. It's just a spray can he picked up at Advance Auto Parts; the color looked very close to the color of a new carb.

Rickomatic - Put those feelings of inadequacy right out of your mind. We all had to learn whatever we know and so will you. Besides, we're all here to help so you can access what we know without having to make the same mistakes along the way.

Bill - It's not quite as tight as it looks in the picture. I can get my finger between the distributor and the back of the carb adapter. With the distributor back under the top of the cowl like that, though, the cap can only be removed if the rear carb is removed first.
