My question is....on a 1965 442 built in California....was the “Top Hat” oil cover painted black or was it Silver Zinc plated?

The same question for the Power Steering Cap....was it painted black or Silver Zinc Plated. I see them both ways....again this is a California Built 1965 442.

Thank you,

Dan

 

Top hat should be black. Brake MC cover should be zinc dichromate.

 

Power steering cap, natural steel color

 

Thank you my 442 Brothers

Dan

 

Power steering cap was painted black.

 

 

What color would the single full length stripe be on the upper radiator hose? Blue? Yellow? White?

Thank for the pictures

Dan

 

Is the “Y” on the Firewall designation for the Paint Code?

Dan

 

Blue.

 

 

K20 label for the CA emissions changes. Only on CA in state sold cars.

 

Is there anyone out there making the K20 Labels?

Thank you,

Dan

 

Made the K20 and QW labels myself. Pretty easy to do.

 

These clips were used on the Fremont Buick’s and Oldsmobiles. Inner fender clips holding down the cable and harness.

 

Thank you, I am very familiar with the inner fender clips....as I restore and own Buick’s too.

How about the Bronze Engine paint....who makes the best spray can Bronze Paint?

Thank you,

Dan

 

Fusick bronze. Best matching paint. I used it on both my cars. The first pic I posted is Fusick bronze.

 

Jason,

Fusick Bronze it will be.....your engine bay looks Fantastic.

It is great when car guys reach out and help other car guys....this is what attracted me to this hobby of ours 40 years ago....I am glad it is still attracting me to this day.

Thank you Jason.
