Picked up this 331 knowing that i was painting it.
  Stripped it down parts went in to the pan with gasoline , the painted parts got sprayed with oven cleaner
  After clean up , I warm up the parts to be painted with a propane torch  .    This degases the aluminum and make the paint stick better .
  Another thing i do after painting is to start waving the parts over  the torch ,  this starts the wrinkling rite away and the baking process.
Look it over if it looks a little light in places spray it  .      I fire up the barbecue and place the part in at 200-250 degrees for 1-2 hours [img][/img
