Organic solvents will cut the gas shellac deposits then the zinc oxides can be dusted out with almost any kind of soda blaster, even small home made. Only the finest glass bead will avoid damage to the threads and bores. The castings are usually warped and need to be made flat for the gaskets to work. The car may have sat for years with ethanol fuel doing the damage. I used to like the X carbs but now it is easier to use a ford V8 era carb. Good Luck: Fred A
