Thanks for the feedback. I'm in the process of disassembling the top of the engine to look at the numbers and determine what I do have. Engine is in the truck and I'm having trouble finding and seeing the head codes with the exhaust maniforlds on. I'll be doing that over the weekend. Good...

I just want to get this right so I'm asking what might be a simple question, but what is the correct color for the drip moldings on a 30 tudor? I know the judging standards say aluminum is body color, steel is black, but from pictures I see it doesn't appear to be consistent. The car is...
