Merlin was said to have turned Lead into Gold.

Well, Some how a part that I have always seen as Aluminum is now brass! Well, maybe I just didnt noticed.

But heres the story, I been pulling parts off other cars at the junk yard and rebuilding them to replace the parts on my car for the restore. However today, I was under my hood taking off the Flow Guide Valve on mine and under all the grime I found this!....

All the other ones I have ever seen on all models have been aluminum!

The question is, has anyone seen one like this before???

Polecat

It ain't Merlin it looks like King Midis. that looks like it was plated and a yellow chromate was added my car isn't gold but it could have been at one time

Pictures are deceiving. The unit is made of solid Brass. Its not coated steel nor is it painted Aluminum. But being the internet, the only way to prove it is for others to see it in there hands. So there lies the problem.
