Thanks for the replies. I am not too worried about the maintenance part, and with your advice. I think I might go ahead and polish it. I once had trouble with my 390 in my truck- it would run fine for about 10-15 minutes then shut off. Although I never did find the problem, one thing I thought it might have been was vapor lock, which is why I was somewhat concerned about polishing it. Thanks again.
