Long Lost Carb Stripping Tutorial

Long Lost Carb Stripping Tutorial
Hey All,
A few years ago I wrote a tutorial on how to strip the stock Nikki and intake manifold, and sent it out to a few folks for review.
Sometime after I lost the editable version of it, and never got around to re-making it so that I could fix the few small spelling/grammatical issues and adding the suggestions my reviewers made.
Today someone emailed me about it so I dug up the old PDF version and sent it out and figured "Hey... I should probably post this. It's not perfect, but it might help someone on the forum anyway"
Unfortunately the forum's attachment limits won't let me post it (1.5mb PDF) so if anyone has some webspace where we can toss it up online, let me know so we can get this available for everyone.
Anyone know how to get ahold of the foxed.ca guy? I'd love to see it up on his site if he's got room!

I have webspace I would love to donate.
www.theglogspot.com will be the new tutorial site until someone comes up with a good name for a tutorial website for our cars.

http://foxed.ca/rx-7/Carb%20Stripping%20Draft%201.pdf for now.
I have full acrobat, so I can actually make an editable version if you like. ( http://foxed.ca/rx-7/Carb%20Stripping%20Draft%201.doc ) Formatting is a bit messed but if you are making revisions anyway its not a big deal.

ROFL But the carb tutorial is there... now if I could only view it....

Wow, I'd almost forgotten that I made this.
Thanks for the props Carl, coming from you that means a lot. The tutorial that you and Pratch did for getting rid of the rat's nest was the first carb/intake/emissions-related thing I ever tackled on my car, and my first Sterling was an absolute godsend. I don't think I would have gone on to learn nearly as much about airflow, emissions controls and carbs if it hadn't been for you guys!

Nice!
Thanks for all the obv hard work Jon. Uploaded to my Tech archive.
Q: any idea what YR of Nikki this one was?
I have a totally Sterling-ized FB carb (NOS!) that I had Sterling leave all the emissions _attached_. So If i want to pull all that dead weight, this might be helpful. (I don't know _what_ I was thinking...?)

The carbs in my tutorial were the 84-85 ones, but the process is very similar for the others. That carb is a thing of beauty, even with all the bits attached!
I think I know what you were thinking... I did something similar when I had to pass inspection. I basically got my first Sterling (yes, I've had multiples, I love these carbs) as a full-fledged Sterling, but got him to tack all the other bits on the outside to *look* like it hadn't been modified. In the end, the guys at the inspection had no idea what they were looking at anyway, so it was a waste of time. But back then I was young and didn't want to take any chances that my car would fail because something was "modded"!
