[Healeys] Intake manifold finishes

[BJ8Healeys]

Mike, I don't presume to know much of anything about Healey models other than the BJ8.  I was responding to Bruce's question about his BN7, and I assume that all 3000 engines left the factory in the same finish as BJ8 engines.

Steve,

     Healey green for the normal intake manifold, begs the question, what color the Lemans intake manifolds on Lemans conversions of the 100?

I believe the intake manifolds left the factory painted the same Healey Green as the engine.  In any event, I painted mine with the Moss spray can engine paint in 1999 and it's still fine.  The intake manifold doesn't get that hot.  The key to any paint durability is how clean the surface is when you paint it.
