It is most common on the Corvettes to spray about 3-4 inches of orange on the bell housing closest to the engine block. I do not know if this is correct for the Chevelle too.

We do about 30-40% on the BB Novas. Can probably get a photo if you want to see it.

Lynn,
It doesn't matter what car the engine is in. All that matters is whether it's a Tonawanda or Flint engine. After the engines were test run, they were fitted with the final pieces, including flywheel, clutch assy and bellhousing, painted, then racked for shippment to the assembly plants.
It's not uncommon to see the entrire bell painted, along with the clutch fork. Different days + different guys = different results.

We've seen everything from 1 inch to 6-8 inches painted on the Deuces, so pretty much anything goes!

Thanks Verne. All the 69 Z's I see had the entire bell housing painted. I believe all the 302's were flint engines.

My 621 housing was totally painted when I got it. Paint was flaky, and looked original, but who knows.
