    No problem Dan, anytime. It was nice to work on a Maverick and barely get my hands dirty for once! (y)

    That engine just looks to good in there man. I think you need to trade me back for your old engine. :rofl2:

    LOL ... nah ... just the damper ...

    FYI ... I bought an Autolite 1101 carb off of eBay so I can use one of those 1 barrel chrome air cleaners to top off the engine .... :)

    Looks good Dan. did you empty the entire engine compartment or did you mask off a lot of the parts?

    I unbolted all I could from the firewall and carefully sprayed around everthing the best I could .. I used semi-gloss black Engine enamal ... they also had low-gloss Black ... I should have used low glass because the semi-gloss is shinier than I wanted ...

    Here is the air cleaner - it's chrome ... it doesn't fit the YF carb on there .. waiting for my Autolite 1101 ....
