Either a clear-coat as used on wheels, or body color, or black crackle with polished ribs (black crackle with exposed ribs is also a possibility for the cam covers). > 4) Considering relocating the fuel injector harness off the block > and up a coupla inches to suspended around the level of the joint > between the intake manifolds and the heads. I removed my FI harness, and covered it completely with that black, ribbed wire loom. You need several sizes because of the differing diameter of the loom. I 'spliced' big loom to small loom with that black, self-vulcanizing stretchy tape. The whole enchilada was then tie-wrapped to the bottom of the fuel rail. You need to get a little creative, since the lengths of the loom do not match perfectly to the new location, but you end up with a lot neater appearance and the loom out of the bottom of the valley.
