65 Coil question
« on: January 10, 2024, 07:21:33 AM »
Hello,
05/1965 Metuchen coil seems to be black paint, not gloss black (mine seems original as I found even stamp signals) but the backet should it be gloss black?
painted with bolt and nut on place or not?
stamp on grey? 
Thanks

Coil was painted semi-gloss black then over time they tend to dull a bit on original cars due to exposure to "stuff"


painted with bolt and nut on place or not?

Oil was painted and stamped then placed in the mounting bracket then attached to the engine. Mounting bolt as well as the tightening bolt and nut were not painted



stamp on grey? 

Stamp was done in silver/light grey (I guess you could call it also)  paint
