There was enough oil leaking out of the valve cover by 30k miles, that the tube/ dipstick stayed shiny immersed under an oil bath mixed with road crud and, walah! Lifelong metal preserver....those engineers thought of everything

IIRC, the SBC dip stick tubes were installed at the car assembly plant, not the engine plant. Not sure in '69, but in 1970, I've seen dip stick tubes from Van Nuys painted black, (Charley's former 1100 Mile 70 Z28). Is this a case where the answer could vary depending on the assembly plant?
