66 327 starter questions

[Brian K.]

I installed my starter today and have a few questions, this is for a 1966 327 L79 car. In this picture do either of these 2 nuts look correct for the starter brace to starter?

Okay, should the solenoid shield be painted semi gloss black or natural?

Last does the small block use a wire clip that attaches to the solenoid to hold the starter wires? My 67 Camaro 350/295HP does or do only the 427 Vett's use this.

The nut on the left looks correct to install the brace to the starter.
The shield should be gloss black as its a dipped part. Actually it could range from gloss black to flat black depending on the age of the paint in the vat and humidity.
No there is no clip on the solenoid to hold the wires.
