HEy that was me with the film. Really it isn't as much as a film as it is
more like a stain. No oil feeling. I am very happy with my setup although
my "Daytona" had the recessed base and had to make a spacer to raise it up
enough. Be very careful which model you get. My element was the same for a
69 Camaro with a 350 (14x 3). Real tight fit new; real nice later.
Hope this helps!!!
