Someone else posted this question not too long ago consensus that the assembled block, including the distributor, water pump, fuel pump, throttle cable brackets and return spring bracket, choke assembly were all red. The distributor and the fuel pump just had red overspray on it, not completely painted.
ok I talked to a guy I worke with in the past and he has worked on alot of buicks the water pump is red from the factory if its cast or silver its been replaced. he thinks he remembers replacing the pump on my car when the dealer owned it . cust owned it for 1 or 2 years traded it in and the dealer kept it untill I bought it
