reviving an old thread which has great pics. I've seen the old day 0 pic of the Nova L48 engine with the wire retainers painted orange. Is it possible the wire retainers on a Z28 would retain the original black paint, and the wire retainers on an L48 with painted valve covers would be painted orange. Asked a different way, were the wire retainers on the engine when the engine was painted for an L48?
And I'm missing the driver side retainer, could anyone suggest a decent reproduction?
Thanks - Andy
