The ' clear coat ' is an anti-rust agent called Rustilo made by Castrol......I had just sprayed it on, so it was wet at the time. It does 'set', takes about an hour or so. It goes a brown colour.
Takes a hot wash to get it off however.
I was running a 2 barrel Carter, then I put a Holley 350 #7448 on it.
I had #61 jets, #95 power valve, and modified the jets in the Metering Block after removing the little brass plugs, and opened up the Progression Ports in the Throttle Block......so it had no dead spots or hesitation.
The engine wasn't stock....0.060" over, 0.140" off the P&P head, mild cam, Genie headers, regraphed dizzy, Bosch GT40 coil, would rev to 5,500 rpm......only ever took to 5,000 rpm in top gear (4sp)....that was 120 mph.
