1969 Parts Finish

[Steve M.]

Doing a frame off on a 350/350 convertible and am getting parts together for plating. I would like to confirm the following part finishes with others that are more familiar with 69's.

1-The heater hose fitting mounted on the front of the engine presently appears to be zinc plated?

2-The vacuum fitting mounted on the rear of the engine presently appears to be zinc plated and maybe dichromate dipped?

3-The 90 elbow that comes from the bottom of the air filter and connects to the grommet on the valve cover. It is a brass color and looks like it has been zinc plated. Correct finish?

I appreciate any information.

#1 is right
#2 is zinc, no dichromate
#3 should be painted gloss black like the air cleaner base.
