Engine Details (Correct Overspray)
I just ran across this and thought that some of you might be interested. Take a close look at the edge of the valve covers and the gaskets. They have orange paint on them. This photo is from 1968 or early 1969 according to the cars owner.
This would mean that the engine was painted with the valve covers on and just a "dog house" covering them up to protect them from overspray. This is how the Pontiacs were done and I thought that the Chevrolets might have been the same but never had any documentation to back it up. 68 Big block Original
