I’m assuming this black preservative coating would not burn and smell?

I was of the understanding 63 was done a bit differently, as were many items. Here is a good pic from 65 showing the coating of the pipes.

----Tim,,, Would the exhaust have been hung on the frame before the engine and tranny were lowered in? Otherwise I would think there would be black spatter all over the place.....Bill S
