From what I've heard the Autolite is one of the best carbs ever made. I
thought the 4300 was another Autolite? Or was that what Ford was calling
the 4160 series Holley's? (I never played with late 60's Stangs so
forgive the ignorance).

Depends on what kind of paint job he's shooting for. If he's not
skimming with mud and/or doing a couple rounds of sanding primer
followed by blocking. Then yes be careful of the metal.. but if he wants
a top rate paint job... scuff that metal good and save the 320 grit for
the first primer block out after the skim coat of mud.
