I am doing a 66 GT 350 and have a few detailing questions. It is a mid April Ford build.
Q.#1 What finish would the heater hose elbow at the intake manifold be? Gold cad. silver cad or engine blue?
Q.#2 What color should the dist. lead terminal at the coil be? Some say black, others say yellow.
Q.#3 The car has a cast iron T-10 and the the oil drain plug is a square drive with "MAGNETIC " on it.   Is this correct or a day 2 item?

Thank You
Rodney

By the time your engine was assembled it appears that the elbows were not being swapped from the iron intake any longer. For judging currently allow both -painted or plated

Rodney the primary lead has a black terminal end originally . The yellow is the common service replacement.
