[Purdy Swoft]

I paint the carburetor housing with all other parts removed . I don't paint the inside of the bowl . I use either spray can black lacquer or better still POR 15 black . I leave the choke and throttle levers cadmium plated . The Zenith carbs that I have had all had the plugs and pins painted black . If it is a car that will be under national judging standards I would consult the restoration guidelines and judging standards . In either case the paint on the plugs and pins shouldn't be hard to remove .
