Here's a little detail that most people don't bother to do . . .

The cover over the driver's side exhaust manifold to add heat to the air cleaner was painted BLACK from the factory. ( as can be seen in the picture below, of the 350 engine in the 1970 pick up with 80 miles that was for sale a couple of years ago.)

I found some high temperature black paint for my restoration and it's staying on pretty good - so far !!!

This picture also shows that the black paint in the engine compartment was "glossier" then most people think too !!!
