Hi Jim,
How about natural - heat treated? The Tech Manual WILL change your life for all time.

Thanks Allan, I guess I will wire brush the silver paint off them now, just ordered a judging guide.

Silver Paint! If I recall, there's no silver paint anywhere on a Corvette (unless it was a silver car) Maybe some on alum. intake manifolds...

Jim,

The correct original finish on exhaust manifold bolts for your 66 would be a black plating. I don't remember the exact plating though. May have been called black phosphate?
