jerryacheson Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 62 Electra, 401 4bbl.<P>The vacuum tube that goes from the front of the intake along the drivers side valve cover to the power brake booster is painted Buick green on my car. Should it be natural or green or ???<P>Also, the lower bracket for the generator (mounts to the exhaust manifold) appears to have been Buick green. Is that correct; or, should it be black or natural. The piece is aluminum.<P>Thanks.<P>Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56Roadmaster Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 well on my 56's it appears that the brackets you speak of and tubes are engine color. that on original untouched cars. Remember Buick was trying to pump these cars out the door for profit, so items on the engine at time of painting got engine color. I don't think they even taped the intake manifold as the carb mounting surfaces are engine color too ( again on original cars) <BR> hope this gives you some useful thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
