Hello Hugh. I would like to make a correction to your post. The spark plug wire covers are suppose to be black. I'm going by the numerous concours-quality restorations of Chrysler 300s are I've seen in various magazines over the years. These are mostly trophy winning cars that have had expensive frame-up restorations. It doesn't stand to reason that these folks spent mega-bucks and the restoration shops painted all these wire covers an "incorrect black". The ones on my engine were still painted black though they were badly faded. I sanded them down and repainted them. They make a nice contrast against the silver valve covers too. That's my two cents. Bye for now. Doug 58 Crown coupe
