Found my dads original 1971 duster!

Unrelated to your goal of getting the Duster on the road again, how come the water pump isn’t painted blue like the rest of your engine?
Hmm. I didn’t know that it was supposed to be blue. Thats how I got it back from the engine builder. They painted the engine after the rebuild. I just assumed it wasn’t supposed to be blue. Another project added to my list. Thanks!
