Default Re: Plating Question

Are you sure your parts were originally zinc plated and not cad plated? Cad is much duller, and is what was originally used on coil brackets, alternator fans, etc. When zinc was used, it tended to be a dull zinc, not a bright shiny zinc like you see in hardware store bolts. I'm speaking only re: GM cars. Ford and Mopar may be different.
