The original off my 69 BB is stainless. Very shiny in-fact when you wipe off the grease.

I believe Heartbeat City repops them in stainless.

The currently available repops aren't bad, just require a little filing to get the rear mount to fit.

Joe!

That Vette only comment intrigues me. Why different for
the Vette? Did it have to do with the header like exhaust
manifolds they used? Wish those things fit our cars
