Default valve stem seals

i got the package from texas speed for a cam swap but all 16 seals look the same and are brown. is this right? i thought intake were brown and exhaust were black. or is that just the GM seals that are color coded?

The brown are the exhaust seals. The exhaust seals are fine to use on the intake valves, but not the other way around, since the intake seals cant handle the higher heat of the exhaust valves.

You will do fine with all 16 brown seals.
