Paint and inspection marks

Jerry,

The only part of your question I think I can answer is that if the steering box is painted black, I've been told that the inspection marks would have been covered up by the paint. Implying only natural boxes should have any visible inspection marks. I might have been told this by Corvette Steering Service, Inc., who restored my steering box, but I can't remember for certain.

Jerry,

And I don't think the black paint resulted from the blackout process. I think it was semi-gloss black and was painted prior to installation. I'm speaking from the perspective of a '66.

It's what I understand as well, again referring to 66.
