You have to remember,THESE are parts that were made in 1980-82,and as such will show "warehouse" age,as a example I bought a totalled Delorean for parts in 1982,that was one month old when it got totaled,well when I got the car and started dismanteling it,I was suprised how everything was BRIGHT and SHINEY,and how things came apart real easy,fast Forward to 2004,I looked at the drivetrain the other day,all the luster was gone,the drivetrain looked liked it aged,BUT it still WAS THE SAME untouched/STORED drivetrain from 1982!! My point here is you cannot judge a part(or drivetrain) by outside appearences,just cause something looks dull and ugly,doesn't mean,it is not a perfectly functioning part or item.(it's what is on the INSIDE that counts!!)Hope this makes some sense.
