Original carb studs fit better than clone, so I cleaned up the studs from years of abuse and dipped them in caldwell's oxide & sealant. First time I tried it to the letter, nice stuff. Dipped the retainers in plastic dip. Couple of original better than new, they were 2K first. I'm guessing a 10SI won't take that alternator clip though

Paint divider fits like a glove, a board member wanted to give them to me for nothing but shipping. He polished them up too
