    '72 Smog pump w/ orange over spray

    I recently bought a smog system off of a '72 LS5. There is some over spray on the pump and diverter valve. Is this typical and is there any reason to try to duplicate it?

    The smog bracket was installed at the engine plant and was painted with the engine. The pump and diverter valve were installed at St. Louis. My guess is that someone "touched up" this engine somewhere along the way. That's further evidenced by the painted head on the through bolt. Used car dealers would often "touch up" engine compartments and, in days-of-old, many of the high $$$ Corvettes that are so prized today had several stints in used car lots, often even what would be called "pot lots".
