Re: '65 426 wedge

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

The other Don is correct.  All that stuff is chrome.  Note that the air cleaner 
is the unsilenced unit which means no snorkel and the carb plate is small so as 
to allow the air to come in from the bottom of the air cleaner unit (under the 
cover).

Good catch on the throttle cable bracket.  That would seem to be true for a 361 
and 383, also. Others?
