1974 Dodge Dart Sport rebuild
The blue buckets are 21 gallons and I had them a little over half full. I used the large bag (13.5 lbs) of baking soda for the neutralization bucket. In the acid tote I used 4 gallons as that is what was needed to cover the drums, etc. Clean water in the other bucket where the parts soak. I changed out the water every 24 hours to make sure all the acid is off the parts.
When I was done, I neutralize the acid by dumping it in the neutralization bucket (it will foam). When I tested it the PH was a little high so I added another large box of baking soda. That did the trick and I was able to dump it.
The last pic shows the parts as they are tonight, on their second rinse. Once more tomorrow and I should be able to dry them off. The black residue is simply grease that the acid did not touch.
