If you have a restored 68 440 car with A/C, or a car that is in very good ORIGINAL condition or at least reasonably so I would like to see some underhood pix. I'm wanting to know the correct way things were painted, especially the black stuff, rad, A/C comp, and lines, pulleys, P/S pump, etc. if you want to add in your own knowledge while you're at it that would be most welcome too!! I just found out today that my 300 with the original 440 has the wrong carb on it. It has the Holley list# 4440 which is for a 68 or 69 383. Mine should be list# 3918 or 3918A. the 4440 is rated at 570 cfm, that could explain the not so impressive giddeyup! LOL. Any thing you guys can add will be appreciated. Thanks, Ken.

I had a super original '68 NYer, wish I had better pics but I can tell you that: The A/C lines along the passeger side fender were natural color. The A/C lines coming off of the compressor were painted black and matched the radiator, but coming out of the firewall they were natural. The condensor I can't remember if it was natural or black, the radiator was black (I painted it with bbq paint so it's flat black later in the album). PS pump was black. Can't help with the carb but maybe these pics will help. I WISH I STILL HAD THIS CAR! :'(
