It is most common on the Corvettes to spray about 3-4 inches of orange on the bell housing closest to the engine block. I do not know if this is correct for the Chevelle too.

We do about 30-40% on the BB Novas. Can probably get a photo if you want to see it.

Yep,bolts and all.That's why the hsg was painted.It was in line of fire of the spray gun. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Lynn,
It doesn't matter what car the engine is in. All that matters is whether it's a Tonawanda or Flint engine. After the engines were test run, they were fitted with the final pieces, including flywheel, clutch assy and bellhousing, painted, then racked for shippment to the assembly plants.
It's not uncommon to see the entrire bell painted, along with the clutch fork. Different days + different guys = different results.
