Deceased, But not forgotton
in case anyone has had the desire to just strip the paint from a factory wedge SS crossram and run it in natural aluminum, the bulletin from Chrysler back then said -don't do that. their recommendation was to either leave it painted, repaint if stripped of paint or polish it. the reason being the bare castings were just porous enough to actually bleed vacuum drop. the paint sealed them and polishing sealed the castings as well.
