Three Sisters....

Or perhaps the 'Bells' of the ball?  The Carburetors are clean and ready for kits that need to be ordered.  The diaphragms that hold the jets were so brittle that they cracked into many pieces.
Not much to say, just apart and cleaning

One of my pet peeves, cheese head screws that have been 'buggered'
 With as much baked on crud as they had I had to clean them then soak them in carb cleaner then clean them again.  A tedious process with a tooth brush and Simple Green.  The screws over the course of time have been buggered,  I try to remove the burrs and clean them off.  Not as nice as new but at least they won't snag the cleaning cloth.

 You can't tell from the picture but I did some polishing on the center 'bell' and will do the same to the others, not perfect but much nicer and will look good on the car.

The Sisters and their Bells, awaiting the kits and final assembly
