1965 Dodge Dart Charger

In the last issue of the MCG there was an article by Frank Badalson. He says that all the water pipes on the big block was unpainted.

I did some searching on some intake manifolds I have and there was paint on the one owner engines.

Does anyone else know anything about this? What I found out on my Engine my water pipes for the heater hoses was painted. Could there have been changes between the assembly plants? :glasses7:

Thanks FABO!
