    I've always used this stuff for my alternator and intake manifoldhttp://www.eastwood.com/nu-casta-aluminum.html?fee=5&fep=26062?srccode=ga220010&gclid=CM_cs-3vn78CFQIT7AodpjYALg

    It's hard to type "funny"

    Geees Rudi, I googled Glyptal and got a bunch of products and numbers. What is the product number and color you used? Clear, silver?? I remember how great your engine bay looked at Springfield.

     A bit late on this post Steve but this is what I used on the 3-G alternator. I also used it to paint the 3rd member, it closely resembles the original color.
