Is the RH spark plug wire retainer tower/stand on a 69 Z orange or natural metal? If natural do you gys clear coat or use a paint?
I know the LH one is orange (since that's the way the repop one comes).

Thanks!!

For the record, I would not necessarily use repop anything as an indicator of what it was from the factory. Some repop stuff is excellent, some is not. Rely on McNeish's book, or guy's here for the most accurate info....although everyone makes mistakes.

Case in point, I bought a 6000/8000 tach for my Yenko clone because the Classic Industries catalog said 6000/7000 for early cars, and 6000/8000 for late cars. Well, it turns out that is correct for Z/28, but not for L78/L72. Fortunately, I was able to exchange it for the "correct" one. (BTW very late Z/28 used 6500/8000)
