Re: smog tubes plating
I would not call it Olive Drab by any stretch as that is a much more flat green color than these were but they definitely have a green tint to them.

Re: smog tubes plating
Rick,
Are you sure those were NOS? I question that because of the amount of steps in the transition from main body to the outer branches of the tube. Originals I have and have seen use 2 steps in downsizing the main body to the outer branches whereas repops commonly have 3 like what yours look like. My NOS ones are also more of the brown-black finish that I've had on survivor originals with the 2 steps. I'm sure the color varied in production, but I've not seen anything as green as yours look from GM from the the 69-70 time frame. |
Re: smog tubes plating
Well lets just say that they both came out of original GM boxes with the correct part numbers but we all know how that can work today.....maybe I got duped....again!

Re: smog tubes plating
The pic in post 543326 looks like the tube is parkerized with oil on it. I have had bolts plated this way and washers that can look like this tube.
