[Spridgets] engine color?

[Marc]

I can't see not cleaning up the engine a little as long as it's out, so 
figured I'd degrease it and give it a quick spray, probably with a 
rattle can of something... I seem to recall a post saying that the 
factory color for a 1973 midget engine was black, and another post 
mentioning a brand of rattle can engine paint they'd had good success 
with (krylon?).

This is certainly no concours car, just a decent driver...

Also, would anyone would care to share any engine bay clean up tips?

Here's what I've go to work with:
