I dug out this NPC for a previous thread but decided to start a new string instead because this info is off the original topic for that thread.
There has always been debate about chrome engine components on early production 63 cars.
The NPC below (Notice of Production Change) should clear up a lot of confusion.
All 63 340 HP and 360 HP engines were nearly void of chrome from start of production to 3 January 1963, according to information and dates on the sheet. (that doesn't include the air cleaner top for 340 HP)
Parts in the right column are the original numbers from SOP. Parts in the left column are the new chrome items added.
As noted at the top of the sheet, the new items are described as NICKEL/CHROME. This is a quick low cost two step chrome process that does not include the copper plate between nickel and chrome.
I know I've discussed this here in the past but it seems many people reject the idea of no chrome on their early cars.
