            There are several products on the market that seal polished aluminum (no, not clear coats) and they don't turn them yellow. They cost more than the cheap alternatives, but they last a long time.

              After polishing you can clear powdercoat to hold the shine.

              Chrome waternecks for AMC - Oldsmobile is the virtually the same as an AMC. You have to grind the inside of one of the bolt holes to shift the bolt about 1/4".

                  Man, I'm jealous - except I'm not willing to put in that kind of work right now. That's a nice looking engine.

                      Just a thought...

                      My brother is a big MX-rider, he is always spraying his bike motors with wd-40. He goes out in the dirt, comes back and hoses 'em off and they look brand new.

                      Maybe periodic coats of wd-40 will keep it clean?
                      There's a Waggy out there/lookin' for me somewhere...
