i got an edelbrock carb from a friend, and i have a couple questions about it. --first of all, how do i tell what model it is and everything without him knowing either? -- and also, its kinda corroded. its not like horribly bad, i can probly polish most of it out. its on the carb itself all over the place, 2 of the throttle blades are rusty, and only like one of the levers or whatever move freely. can i clean it up and restore it to like new condition with polishing corrosion removal and probably a rebuild kit?
i dont know a whole lot about carbs and my car is tbi, but im rebuilding the engine and have a nice carb intake, so if i get it to work nicely i might swap thanks

Model number is stamped on the front right mounting ear. Disassembly and cleaning would be a start, anything that doesn't free up after that would have to be replaced.

 

do you have any recommendations on how to clean it up? especially in those tight hard to get to spots?

 

Disassemble everything and soak the non-plastic parts in real carburetor cleaner. Scrub as required.
