ScottSmith_Harms OP Mr Wizzard Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 42,714 Spokane Washington	Yes, my 71 340 dip stick was the same, so was my NOS one, EXTREMELY thin black paint that falls off with little contact. Also, your negative battery cable is unpainted as was my 71 engine's. I'd be interested in knowing what bolt head markings are on the fasteners (all of them).
