Oh and @HO455 it’s actually silver, but the story is the guy I bought her from is a car flipper, and he kinda went haywire under the hood with a couple cans of spray paint. Nearly everything was rattle canned black, the block, the valve covers, even the master cylinder and fuel pump are sprayed black.
I’m guessing he thought it looked too dark so he shot the air cleaner in silver for some contrast... it’s weird, but I haven’t got around to dealing with it.
