My dad thought it would be the bright orange, but mine was black when we pulled it off. All rusty with a little bit of black paint and some of the graphics left. I need to know, i'm probably painting it tomorrow (cleaned up and primered).

I have a 1965 engine with a orange painted oil filter canister. My 1962 has a black one. I don't know when they switched from black to orange. If you want it to look good and have the color last, consider having it powder coated.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

It is a 58. I will paint it black, then. Thanks! 
It would be nice if I could powdercoat it, but i simply do not have the funds to do that right now.
