Are 69 Starter noses supposed to be painted black?
Specifically, # 1108367. On HBC, there are two:
Dec 9 1968, HBC #1577

May 10 1968, HBC #1576

Which one is correct?
I don't know specifically about 69's or models, but my 68 Z28 starter nose is aluminum in color.
the 367 small block starter has an aluminum nose piece (unpainted); I believe big block starters got an iron nose pice (also unpainted I think?)... the remainder of the starter is generally painted semi gloss black..
Black for the SB 361.
I have learned on the NCRS site that most starters of this era were painted all over but some were not painted at all.
