1966 big block engine paint details

[Jef S.]

Are all the mounting brackets and straps for the alternator and power steering black? Are the upper fan pulley and cast iron lower power steering add-on pulley black? Are the heads to the bolts left unpainted? I guess the exhaust mainifolds are painted orange but the paint would burn off fairly quickly so i'm going to leave mine unpainted.

Alternator and power steering brackets are painted semi-gloss black; cast iron pulleys are unpainted. Do you have the '66 Judging Guide? It describes all of the engine part finishes in gory detail.
