As a reward...

For taking the dual carb swap so well, I washed, waxed, cleaned the interior,cleaned all the windows, detailed the engine bay and degreased the underside. One more month until I can drive it!  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]







The underside side of the rear floor had a nice coating of black stuff as did the transfer case, skid plate and rear axle. All nice and clean now.

Looks great. What do you use for a method and cleaning solution for the engine bay? Do hose the entire engine down or do you clean each component by hand?

Before I did the dual carb swap, I too everything off my engine that wasn't Pontiac blue. I bought some engine degreaser, Gunk brand. I started using it and the stuff smelled and looked like kerosene. Anyways, I cleaned the engine with a tooth brush and touched up the paint. So it was pretty clean to begin with. Then while it was on the lift, I used my special engine degreaser, a mix of 50/50 ATF and #2 oil or diesel for the underside. That stuff works much better. Spray it on with an old squirt bottle and wipe off with an old towel. I had to just hose off the engine bay and do a little more hand scrubbing of the dead bugs to finish it.

Hope you had the back half of the overdrive bolted up before you sprayed that gunk all over the underside.
