69 clutch housing cover

I think the bell housing on 4 spd big block cars is supposed to be painted orange but what color is the clutch housing cover? Black --- Orange?? Thanks,

It was painted orange with the engine. This is true for ALL 1963-E77 Corvette engines with manual transmissions EXCEPT 1969 ZL-1.

Joe, I assume since it was painted with the engine the bolts should also be orange. If I had to pay $1.00 for every piece of advice/knowledge gained from the members of this forum, I estimate my bill would be over $200.00 this year alone. NCRS membership is a bargain! Thanks,

The bolts were orange, too. Very often, the portion of the cover which is behind the pan has significant areas where no paint was applied due to the "quick" paint job the engines received.
