Gene's manifold finish?

[xavier]

Hi all,

does anybody knows if Berg offered the same finish as their linkage(Hammerite blue?)
See Speedwell 1st Gen. linkage.
Thank you.

[glenn]

I've only seen raw manifolds.

I've seen their manifolds in the blue. My friend Jeff Marshall had them on his slalom car engine. They were 40 P11 manifolds.

I can't speak for everyone, but mine came in blue. (Circa 1971) Sorry for the faded Kodacolor

Now that's a "period" engine shot if ever I saw one....

[deano]

Yes indeed. Notice the Fram HP-1 filter!

Yes indeed. Notice the Fram HP-1 filter!

And the -6 oil lines!   

How did we go so fast with so many stock parts?

Or at least fast enough with a street car to give the national record holder a decent race.

My Berg Special 42's had blue manifolds, linkage, air filter tops and bottoms... looked cool with my blue 019

~Correction~ Now I remember I had blue manifolds, hammertone blue linkage, gold cad plated air cleaner tops and bottoms. All finishes were original, but I bought the kit slightly used at the La Mirada swap meet mid 70's.

There... I feel better now

 I bought a dozen of those old "metallic orange" Fram filters a few years ago.
