What's the correct color for the alternator pulley on a TA. I keep hearing different things from local people black-- silver- gray?? Anyone?

I believe the pulley from the factory was exposed metal, similar to the master brake cylinder. If not "exposed" or bare, then possibly a black iron phosphate coating, that in time, surface rusts.

All alternator pulleys were painted semi-gloss black according to the MCC E-Body Guide. I've seen rebuilt alternators where the pulley appears to be cadmium(?) plated.
