1967 Starter finish?
Any opinions on 67 Small block starter finish. I know the judging guide says that the nose cone should be natural and the solenoid should be plated. However, I have a judging sheet here where the starter is as described in the judging manual and the sheet has a deduction and the judges note states that the entire starter should be painted as an assembly. Please note that I am not making a knock on the judges, I just want to prepare the car properly for judging and reclaim the points that were lost. Thanks, Joe

Hello Joe;
Can you go wrong following the JM in this and most cases ?
Typical starters I've seen have not been "painted as an assembly".

I hope you dance

Ray, The problem here is that the starter was prepped as stated in the judging guide and it still lost points. If the guide is incorrect or the judges have knowledge past what the judging guide states, there are still instances where points are taken. If the owner does not have the product knowledge or the ammunition to fight/discuss the deduction then the best way to solve the issue in the future is to properly prep the starter and document the research.Comment

Joe - That being the case, the questionable deduction should be elevated to the to Judging Team Leader so the owner's has some resolution and is not in a situation in which they get a OK one time & a deduction another time. It is my understanding that the TIM&JG should "trump" a judge's opinion until a revision is made and agreed upon. This might be worth less than Ray's .02.
