Re: Viton Color

Vince said, in part:

"Viton seals... Hmmmm reminds me of some of my early 
days of automotive enthusiasm... 

Question: Why is there so much oil in Texas ?
Answer: 'Cause there used to be a Corvair parked in Houston.

Viton seals were the super-duper-deluxe way of replacing 
your pushrod tube seals"

BTDT in 1967.  They were black.  Replaced them on general principles a 
few years ago, still black.  This does not preclude manufacturing them 
in green, however, as noted by others.  I could barely imagine then 
why they weren't viton from the factory, considering the bad image the 
previous years' Corvairs got from their oily tail ends, and certainly 
cannot imagine not using them today wherever they are appropriate.

1966 Corvair Corsa Turbo (now 2.9L)
