This item was only on cars that came with factory manual transmissions. I am looking for the correct color of the bracket that mounts dash pot to the carb. This bracket goes around where the fuel line goes into the carb. Anyone that can help me with letting me know what color it was originally, please post. The carb resto shop that redid it the last time painted it a dull silver cad color which I can almost say is wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Scott, yes that is the correct part. So I guess it would be the same plating as what my spark coil bracket would be then.

Here's another example, it's gold but looks to have been possibly replaced at one time or another so it's not good solid evidence, I'll know more once I get it appart. What carb # do you have? Quote:

If it was silver, yes, that's the type of plating you'd need. The problem is that most carbs have been rebuilt, and some were incorrectly plated at that time. I photograph each carb I recieve before plating (these two are examples of carbs I restored before I touched them) and try to determine if they are original or not before continuing. It's not always easy determining which color they were originally, sometimes impossible if they've already been restored somewhere else, but typically there are enough clues remaining to get it right.

I've seen some rebuilt carbs where the rebuilder just glass beaded the whole thing, linkages and all. It doesn't look right and also, almost imediatly starts rusting all the metal parts due to protective coating on them anymore.

You won't see that with this rebuilder
