Looking good - FYI - The power steering caps were painted black - same as the pump. And, there should be spark plug wire retainers under the bolt under the valley baffle retainer and one under the thermostat retainer bolt....also painted engine color.

Hey Bob, looks great!  May I ask, where did you get your distributor hold-down clamp?  Is it finished in the same plating as what the factory used?

WOW! Bob, looks great! I can't wait to clean up the Chally's engine bay and begin my own detailing of the 440.

You blasted it and used a clear zinc paint, or sent it out for clear zinc plating?

Thanks again.   :cheers:

I hate when people do this, but I have to ask, Shouldn't the battery tray be black?
