Just bougth off ebay a new repro harmonic balancer for my 289. From the pics it looks to be newly cast iron. What was the stock finish for these?
Should I hit it with some black paint (like the block) or leave natural/clearcoated / "cast blast" ?? Thanks - Dickson

D- IIRC, they were painted. I'm on my way out the door to work, but if you haven't gotten a definitive answer by the time I get home tonight, I'll look in Mannel's book and get you the answer.
