Post 1973 351 - FIRE!

My 1973 351C 2bbl just caught fire (to save what I could I had to use a fire ext. Motor was not running. 2 questions. Do you think any of that crap got beyond carb? And second - should I rebuild carb or replace? Fire was about 2 minutes so not sure how much heat damage occured. Not original 351C so no real collector value to worry about.

Dan, if the ext. was Co2 or halon than no prob. If it was liquid or powder you may have to cleanup a bit...
