Can someone tell me the correct color of the heater control valve plate that screws to the firewall? I have a 69 with AC. I have seen them silver (ish) or a yellow zinc colors. This picture I grabbed off the internet.

Thank you,

Yellow zinc with copper tubes.

The one you show is 1970 ONLY

this is a 1969 , in the picture it looks silver, but in  has a gold tint to it in person

Hello Bill,

So is yellow zinc the same process that was performed to the motor casing for the wiper motor?

Yes,
As well the starter relay, horn relay, heater box retaining nuts , etc etc etc
To add to it.
the actual color and depth of said color is determined by the age of the plating solution as well as how long said part is left emmersed in said solution.
