Winter sucks, but it's a good time to do stuff like this. Here is a before (top) and after (bottum) shot of my valve and points covers I swapped out yesterday. I had an extra set I had picked up at a swap meet or somewhere. I just wanted to clean them up and get them back to respectable. After removing the gaskets with a tiny nail, I used a green scotch bright pad and some degreaser under some water to get them clean. Next step was some 600 grit wet dry sand paper to get them relatively smooth. Then I followed that up with some steel wool. Finally I used some Mother's Aluminum polish and polishing wheel on my bench grinder. This only took a couple of hours and it looks all right.
