When my 67 was born was the wt master cylinder painted black or grey phosphate and what is the correct born with master cylinder cover look like? Jeff
It's a 5e built in flint
I think I figured it out. Cast iron grey natural
Normative Practice was Semi-gloss Black. Over the years the DOT3 fluid dripped and removed a lot of the Delco/Bendix as built paints.

Correct & they were machined after painting....Joe
Definitely semi-gloss black. With cheap paint and no paint prep, the paint came off quickly.

And as Joe pointed out the two large surfaces on side and small indented area where stamped should be bare of paint due to machining surfaces after. A semi-flat clear works well to preserve no painted surface.
