LU5 Crossfire Valve cover color??

Hello, I have an 82 TA with the crossfire option. The car has only 38,000 miles so I always assumed it had correct color valve covers... blue engine/black valve covers.... then I see a 92 w/crossfire at the wrecker that has a blue engine and blue valve covers.... what's correct? Thanks in advance! Steve

All 305's in F-bodies in 1982 were blue. Be it LG4 or LU5. In 1983, they wenr to all black. So for a correct appearance, the 82 motor should be all blue.

My 305 LG4 in an 82 T/A has blue valve covers, and a blue engine, if that helps.
