While I tend to agree with you on this......

I have seen at least one other thread (It was about small block paint colors) where an early "A" owner also claimed he had factory red over-spray (much like the pic above) on his distributor.

With that said, I would clean it off. That over-spray, factory or not looks ghetto.

It's kinda hard to believe that they stuck the distributor in before the manifold and valve covers when they painted.
A long *** time ago it was popular to paint your engine electrics red.
Kinda ghetto simulated MSD.
Every time I have ever seen it since, reminds me that it was so prevalent that now MSD color looks ghetto to me.

Kinda suck really, as in reality I know MSD is good stuff and in my mind got ruined by a guy with a can of red spraypaint 30 years ago.

Go figure.
