What's correct finish on '62 340 hp oil filler tube(not the cap)? Chrome? natural bare metal? painted?
Thanks

I think it should be Argent Green, but not sure.

All of us who have worked for a long time putting together the JG have agreed that it is argent silver. Be careful with repros--generally the color is pretty good, but the OD is just enough too great that if you press it down too hard, you can split the aluminum.

Mike,
On all aluminum intake manifolds especially FI intakes I always prefit the oil tube with a loose interference fit.
Then paint, sand off the paint in the area of press fit and apply some silicone and push into place.
