The tube is plastic.

Btw, interesting tidbit. The manual steering RA cars don’t have the positive battery cable club on the wheel tub like the RA cars with PS have.

Alternator bracket is specific to manual steering applications. The tube for the wires is , iirc, factory in 69 but I’m not 100% sure as I’m away in vacation.

Here is the untouched low mile engine in my 69 Exec wagon. In general I'd say that the 67-70 Pontiac engine paint we all have used for years has too much silver and not enough aqua in it.

Btw, I noticed an odd way GM handled the potential for many different forward lamp harnesses. On the GTO in 69 (68 also I imagine) they had only two harness numbers, one with Hideaways and cornering...

I believe the 69 was a rush job so they 68 was designed before they had decided about the new idea for 69. The big investment in the 68 GP was an attempt to reverse declining sales in the GP since...
