I knew this one last year and know I have forgotten. i have a 1969 Z28, are the water pump bolts painted engine orange or to remain silver cad? Thanks! Larry,69rfine

Fan went on after engine paint so I would assume they are still cad plated.

Water pump attaching bolts are engine orange - the pump was on the engine when it was painted. :thumbsup:

orange is correct! as with all the tin bolts ie:oil pan,timing cover etc...

Would that also suggest that timing covers and the rear of the water pumps were not (very well) painted too?

Yes, that's correct - especially on pre-69's with short water pumps. :thumbsup:
