Umm, no you cant. The E'Brocks use a 2 step rod and the early AFB's use a 3 step rod. The jets are numbered completely
different, and the jets and rods are different lengths.
I wouldn't paint it, not likely to stay put given that its a carburator and will be exposed to high heat and fuel. Its aluminum,
so you could polish it if you were really ambitious, otherwise I'd just scrub it down with some carb cleaner.
You can glass-bead the outside to make it look like the day it was cast.
Just make sure everything is antiseptically clean before you re-assemble it. Blow all the passages out with compressed air,
or run a thin wire through them. Pay attention to the float levels, as that makes a big difference in the way it runs.
