Looks like gray paint. I imagine it would have been covered entirely with sealant? Did all the motors have tape around them? I'm not finding any evidence of any tape.

I suppose the black paint could have faded to gray? I have always seen the motors painted black with the tape used. I have seen many where the tape has come off . If I remember correctly the engineering drawings indicate the tape was supposed to be applied . Bob

Agree with Bob, probably just faded paint or old sealer.

Looks like that early Deaborn sealer to me

Thanks guys!!!   Just thought I'd check since we recently discussed gray proportioning valves.

By the way, I did find evidence of tape... Most of the things are original on this car so I wasn't happy until I found some.  It took some twisting and mirrors but I found it hiding on the bottom of the motor!
