Someone sprayed red paint on mine and some of the fuel lines too.  I cleaned the paint  off and will clean it up much better when I get it the manifold off of the engine.  Maybe I'll bead blast it.  I've seen pictures of the manifolds both ways.

Holddown clamps for the "E" are the longer ones and are cadmium plated.
