Default Re: Holley Carb. plating

Sean,

You do phosphating also? Do you use a commerical or homemade? I've done cast iron carb bases with homemade solutions. Doesn't look too bad. I have some commercial solution from ShooterSolutions. Haven't tried it yet.

About nitric acid, I can get some that is weakened, and some that is full strength. You just dilute it in water to about 1%? After the part is zinced, do you just do a quick dip in the nitric acid, or do you time it? Then a rinse in distilled water before the chromate?

Sorry about all the questions, but you people know more about this than I do.
