What color???
Are the valve covers and intake on a Mustang EFI. It looks greenish, is that the color or is that what happens after time?

The valve covers on one of my cars turned a greenish color after a while.

Here's a link to Corral (with a link in the thread to 4EP). Lots of debate, but some guys are saying that the '86 covers were bare.

If I'm not mistaken the covers were bare until around 1990. I just checked everything I have and the newest Mustang 5.0 I have is a late 1989 and the covers are bare. I have a 90 LSC and they are bare. Doug
