Hi Tomas and All: According to Chrysler drawings, most of these linkage members has optional finishes. For ALL linkage components, one of the options is "C.S.T. Pro. Std. #80". C.S.T. stands for "Chemical Surface Treatment" and Process Standard #80 is Phosphate Coating. This is what we always refered to the dark oily finish of fasteners, etc. when I was at Chrysler. It may well be the same as "Parkerizing". Eastwood calls their blackening finish "Black Oxide". That is what I used on my 300F because it gives roughly the same appearance I remember. The other options for SOME components were Cadmium Plate, P.S. #182B and Zinc Plate, P.S. #79B. SUMMARY OF FINISH OPTIONS: Bellcrank, (Assy, Intake Manifold Throttle Shaft) PN 2121745: All three Lever, Intake Manifold Throttle Shaft, PN 1947544: All Three Rod, Bellcrank to Carbuetor, PN 2128757: All Three Bracket, Accel. Pedal Return Spring, PN 2129668 (300G and late 300Fs): All three Bellcrank to Carb Adj. Link (Slotted end piece), PN 2129569: Just Cad and CST Rod from throttle bellcrank on body to intake bellcrank, PN 2121159: Just Cad and CST Assy, Accel. Shaft & Bracket (part bolted to body), PN 2121748: ONLY the CST I do not have drawings---or at least not handy---of the linkage to the transmission, but feel confident the CST finish would be appropriate. Of course, for proper restoration, one should try to duplicate what your car came with originally. In my case, I had none of the original when I bought the car, so went with the C.S.T. Phosphate (or faux phosphate) finish. The nut part numbers are not identified in the parts book, so it would be impossible to state what Chrysler specified. In this case, do your best to determine what was original on your car or consult our Reference 300F on the web site. (Of course you 300J and ram K owners don't have to worry about the above. Just paint it all Turquoise with the engine!) Whew!!! I hope this is a help, and even more I hope it is decipherable after going thru the listserver. 300ly, Gil C.
