The Ford Barn

I would like to ask a few Tillotson Crab questions:

What do I clean with
What do I NOT clean with
What do you use for a Plug after having drilled out old ones
I assume that drilling is the way to get the old ones out
Can the Venturi come out or is it a fixed part of the carb
I’m working on one for a fellow, the top of the Ventura has a ½ chip out of the top. It used to run well I’m told, I assume hat it already had the chip as I didn’t see any such broken parts, how bad is this problem?
The body is warped a bit, I’m understand you can bake it with a hose clamp around it to bring is together, What Temp, and how long would you recommend.
Any other advise?

I took easily 2 table spoons worth of caked dust out of this thing.

A separate email will come with a link to the pictures of this one.

Thank you very much
