>>> INTERNAL STEAM CLEAN:  get a pint or a quart of water in a pourable 
>>>container. Take the air cleaner cover off and get a good grip on the 
>>>throttle.  The car must be hot.  Rev the car up to 3 grand or so, and 
>>>pour water down the barrel of the carb...

I have always heard to use automatic transmission fluid, and get your

I have never heard anyone explain why ATF is used, but I have heard
others swear that it works.
