The canister filter housing was a painted item...so, it sure could have been blue to match the blue-block 1966-up engines.

It was black on the 1965 black-blocks.

Also, Fomoco sold "dress-up kits" that included a chrome filter canister.

Interesting that I have more than a few early street car pics that show a clear-plastic, inline filter in its place.

The canister filter must have leaked back then, too.
