Thanks for the lead on Dearborn tube and for the idea of running a line straight through the filter cannister.

Painted or chrome are correct. I have several historic photos in Cobra books that show them to be black on the 427 engines. The chromed units were part of an underhood dress up option on Galaxies and Fairlanes.

The one on my car now, was chrome. Last year I powder coated it satin black.
