There is a chart in the Mopar Performance catalogs, but it relates mostly
to the later 1960s cars when Turquoise was the basic engine color for the B/RB
motors. As I recall, the wideblock 318s were med-dark red, the Chrysler
Blue came into the mix in the later times after Turquoise, about the same time
that Hemi Orange was added to some of the HP motors.
Back in the "Golden Lion" engine nomenclature, seems like the engine
color might have been gold.
For the air cleaners, I suspect that black would be operative. The
best match I've found for that paint is, sorry about the source, GM Glossy
Black Engine paint, part number 12346297 or replacing numbers thereof.
It was a dead-on match for the air cleaner paint on my '67 Chrysler plus
anything else under there that's black. The "glossy" part in the name is not
entirely accurate as it's a satiny gloss black instead of a highly shiney
black paint. Air cleaner, a/c hard lines, brackets--it works in all of
those places. For the a/c lines, I gently sprayed in into a glass bottle
and then used a camel hair hobby brush to apply it to the a/c lines (after
wiping them down with brake cleaner and B-12). It took a few
applications, but it looked good PLUS no disassembly.
Enjoy!
