Thanks Bob! By the way I'm sending you pics in the thread about the boot retainer and screws that I took from my 72 455HO Ram Air Formula. The screws and clips appear to be black phosphate ( I too had 5 screws with the raised dome in the head and one screw out of the 6 with some kind of marking like you are showing above, I thought it was a running out of the correct screw thing on the line). The retainers seem to have a black gloss finish. Mine is a two owner car that has 56k miles on it which sat in a garage prior to me purchasing it. I don't believe the rings, screws, clips, or boots had ever been removed. Hope this helps.
