'57 Distributor

[Garry E.]

I have the stock "891" distributor on my 245HP engine..... can anyone tell me the following:
1) what is the correct shade of black paint on the distributor body?
2) was the oil tube on the back of the distributor painted the same shade of black as the distributor body, or was it left un-painted/natural steel?

Thanks....

Garry,

When I did my 891 distributor I used semi gloss black paint and didn't paint the oil tube. I was rebuilding a distributor I picked up at a swap meet and the oil tube was not previously painted. Not sure about the semi gloss pain, but it appeared to patch.

Regards,

Dennis
