I orderered a rebuild kit today. I’d rather make sure these things are working while I have easy access with the radiator, fan and water pump house out.
My years long restoration continues, and I am now getting into the engine bay. Thinking all is well since the engine was rebuilt some time before I purchased, I now realize the radiator is as wrong, the fan was wrong, the water pump was incorrect , etc etc (yeah I know, raises a few red flags...
What paint should be used in these brackets, pulleys etc? Semi gloss black, satin black, rustoleum or?
Semi gloss rustoleum seems a little shiny but may not be. What is closest to factory?

Also, check the condition of those wiper pivots. Mine were frozen. They are not reproduced but you can find good info here on adding grease fittings etc. You can buy new washers etc for those wiper arms from Detroit Muscle. They have all of the gaskets and seals for all of that stuff...
Keep those parts even if you replace them and don’t need them. It took me forever to locate some of these as I am restoring my 69 Super Bee to factory original. Might be junk to you but gold to someone else doing a factory original restoration.
As an example, that large flexible duct is not...
Both top and bottom inlet/outlet on this radiator are on the drivers side.
Actually found this pic online of the same radiator. Mine is in better shape.
I’m wondering what the difference in the actual radiators are, appears to be virtually the same, mine even has the connections for transmission cooler, although I have a four speed.
My engine, trans, radiator support, VIN all
match, tho the quarter panel had been replaced. Not sure a number on...
