One note on Anodizing. I checked into this in the Portland OR area. The places
I talked to were very tenative about doing the coating to old AL. They
mentioned that it tends to react with old AL(no details, that I remember at
least now) and turn it a funny color (I don't remember what color) I haven't
managed to drop off a peice to see what happens, but I would test it on a spare
part first to see how it turns out.

On a similar subject, has anyone had their valve covers, intake manifolds,
or carb bodies clear anodized? It seems that once the polishing is done
that a clean anodizing coating would keep things looking really nice for
much longer than the normal coating that is put on aluminum after
polishing.
Peace,
