What were the original colors of plating of the coolant hot water tubes and the coolant elbow fitting on the intake manifold of a 70 boss 302,  gold or silver cad, or both,  thanks.

Could have been cad - just not that easy to find anyone doing that any more :(

 If it comes back too bright spray (keeping it wet) with some acid based wheel cleaner to dull it down ;)
