Carburetor

**Carburetor is restored.  I took great pains to replicate the original plating that was on this.  The boosters still have the original red and orange paint daubs (made sure they were preserved through the cleaning process).  I also kept the original plating on several of the parts where it still looked good.  This thing was in really good shape except for the top which needed some TLC to get it looking like it should again. 

The original owner, Bill, told me that this car had an automatic choke when he bought it in July 1964 and when he sold it in 1969, not the C4OF AL that one would expect.  After much of my own research, and the help of a few others including Bob Mannel, this is what was on the car when Bill bought it new.
