I spent a lot of time researching how to detail my 1965 engine bay, but finally came up with what I believe is the correct paint combination. The snorkel, oil filler cap, and dipstick are semi-gloss black, and the air cleaner and valve covers are gold. The block is semi-gloss black. Correct me if I am wrong.
I have re-routed the heater hose to the clip on the carb. Thanks to a friend on another forum who sent me the part.

 

Nice-looking engine bay!
But I've always painted the black engine parts (on '65s I've owned in the past) gloss black. Not the compartment walls; just the snorkle and block and so forth. Are you sure they're supposed to be semi-gloss?

 

Yeah, I'm sure. Now, it's your deal, and the game is 5 card stud, one winner. Nickle, dime, quarter. Three bump limit.
