Transmission Inspection cover for a 440 4 speed bird

[Tri-Poised]

I'm replacing the dust cover on my 4 speed Superbird and bought a new one from Brewers. It came in bare metal. What color should it be from the factory? Any help is much appreciated.

I think they were just left natural.

it was engine color, in your case orange

The engine, bellhousing and cover would be the same shade of orange since it was all painted as an assembly.

[Ghoste]

Ah yes, that makes perfectly obvious sense.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure before I sprayed it Hemi Orange.

Please tell me what that is that's sticking down between the inspection cover and the exhaust manifold.  It has a grease fitting on it.  Thanks!

You aren't talking about that lug sticking out of the starter are you?

Yes - Up to 1969 - 4-speed Hemi's used this starter. Automatics used the standard starter. 70-71's used the standard starter on both transmissions.
