Gents,
I was messing around and posted part of this thread for the heat valve for the exhaust manifold. It looks like this threads has lead to the distributor.

Dads50,
Thanks for the advice and the links to your pics.

Frank50,
I like the blue as well. I blindly went to the auto part store to get a "close like blue," and went with the cap color from rust-oleum. I went back to get some more paint and to my surprise, the color is "Old F**d Blue." blush

GWWirth,
I am not to knowledgeable with with the inners of the engine but what you have posted, I have just read from my handy dandy 1954 Chevrolet Truck Manual that I received today during lunch. I don't really want to take the thing apart and was hoping that it could have been something I could fix from the outside. Well, I gotta do what I gotta do.
