Anyone know where I can get a Soak tank for carbs?

Post by carvinmark »

I need this to clean carbs prior to rebuild. Back in the 70's (showing my age) I used to have a small tank, about a gallon size, that I got from an auto parts store that had a cleaning chemical and a lift tray to get the pieces back out. It worked great and I need another on now, but have had no luck finding anything.
I have a pair of 450 holleys that are kind of dingy so I would like to make them look nice before I rebuild them. What do you do to clean up carbs besides spray can cleaner? Any tips would be great!
Oh ya, :wink: Rangers getting tunnel ram this summer! There goes any hope of getting any decent MPG.
