1969 SS 350 engine pics?

[Abiddle]

My restoration/paint guy believes the oil cap should be unpainted and chrome to match the chrome air cleaner (bright accents debate). But I believe, and the consensus over at CRG, is that these L48 engines with the non-chrome valve covers came built down the paint line and painted with the oil caps on, then dressed with air cleaners and wires and stickers. I have bet him lunch, if I can prove it...

Anyway - great pics Phil thank you, lots of details to see and very nicely finished. My 350 is actually a 4 speed, but in its very early years the smog equip was removed and the exhaust manifolds were replaced with automatic ones. They are correctly dated originals, just not original to this car sadly. So my air cleaner is correct without the stove pipe. Something I can work on later when I can afford the smog equip.
