Re: Oil breather finish?

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems like black is what I recall.

http://www.texasacres.com/parts/1/engine3.jpg  shows an apparently  unrestored 1967 383 factory 4 bbl motor

And here's one on a 1963 max wedge, which looks more satin than gloss black in this picture:

Thanks,
