Re: [GFS] 'STANDARDS"

Standards are good so long as we don't get overzealous.
I went to a Chrysler 300 meet many years ago where a fist fight almost 
erupted over the exact color of the ram tubes on a 300 F or 300 G.  
I have had several Furys over the years and no two were exactly the 
same.
I can remember parking my 58 next to another in Oklahoma back in 1976 
and the shade of beige was different even though these both had 
original paint. Maybe one had faded, who knows.
A friend bought 2 NOS football air cleaners, still in the boxes and 
they weren't exactly the same shade of gold.  But they were semi 
gloss, like the originals on my Fury, but not like most of the 
restorations I have seen.
And the GC 350 valve covers, it appears that some were bronze (engine 
color) and others were gold.
Did all GC 350's have the sediment bowl on the fuel pump?  Or did some 
come with the sediment bowl fuel filter like my 318 Fury had?
