It's going to take more than a Pampers to fix that!

I’ll be watching what you do since I might have to do one of the better ones I have (can’t find an NOS one) . Lye in full strength will remove paint (and pretty much everything else), a furniture repair friend had a huge tank 6x6x6 filled with commercial lye-water mix. He put my Max Wedge intake in there for about an hour, all the paint and corrosion came off.Stripped anodizing off a spare 66 tail pane that I’m going to finish out for my Satellite. Used lye pellets which is the best approach I’ve found.
It’s in there somewhere.

Forgot to strip some paint remnants out of the letters first. Lye won’t eat off paint. Now on to polishing.
It first appeared as a hesitation, which threw me off as I had been chasing ignition problems. Then I sat idling in neutral for 5 min waiting at a train crossing and it started slipping when I drove away- I figure it plugged the filter as I sat idling.Ouch! Sorry about that. Did you have any warning that something was going wrong?
