That's either chrome plated or chrome powder coated. If you look at the other pictures in his album, even the brass plugs are the same finish.

I found a 168 vs 185 dyno graph on google. The 185 made more torque across the power band. There engine was a 347. I hope the difference from 347 to 351 will not matter.

I can guarantee you that my Tubular GT-40 that is posted in that pic is neither chrome plated (thanks for the complement by the way) nor is it chrome powder coated. As far as the brass it took me about 45 sec to polish each brass sensors.



Sorry about the thread jack. I figured as long as this thread was stating facts I wanted to clear this up.

That is great work! Thank you for jacking the thread. What type of polish did you use etc. Where did the cover come from? It is not the lightning cover or the cobra.

Thank you very much for your complement, and believe me there was never any intentions on my part to derail your thread
I only responded to clarify the accusation that my upper/lower and brass sensors were either chrome plated or chrome powder coated and nothing more but since you asked.

What I've done to "POLISH" my parts is this, (even though some might want to believe I had either chrome plated or chrome powder coated)

Which is followed by this and what you need

As far as the cover on my Tubular GT-40 I made mine, but you might want to contact Vinnietbird because at one time he was making the Tubular GT_40 cover.
