Can anyone tell me the color that the intake manifold should be? On my 30 Standard Roadster it is black, but pretty worn. I have recently see a few pictures where some have this painted the engine green. As I reassemble, this is the time to paint. Help with the answer???

Also I have seen that Les Andrews discusses soaking the Zenith carb in ammonia, but cautions not to leave for more than 3 days or the brass parts will start to erode. Is this soak something that would be helpful for an assembled carberator? Or only for a body with all jets and components removed.

Thanks.
