Default Re: L-78 intake gaskets/paint

Took a few shots to show the overspray or lack of it...

I noticed some very small paint fleckson the bottom edge of each valve cover....also some on the water temp unit and TCS sender...paint was absent form the intake side of the heads....very minor paint on the front edge of the intake manifold at the corners..

Those are perfect shots... Exactly... the sending unit most likely had a loose paperboard tube over it, the sparkplugs, and the water pump snout...

Thought I had a photo of the temp sender side...anyway the cloth covered wire had orange overspray on the end of the plastic connector and the green wire. Here is a shot of the bell housing..another area of interest for "overspray gurus"
