For the correct Mopar Turquoise, visit your nearest
Chrysler dealership.  If they don't have a few cans on
the shelf, they can order it -- usually less than $5 a
can.

Alternator brackets, A/C compressor brackets, power
steering pump brackets, vacuum reservoir, and air
cleaner are all painted black; all else should be
turquoise (hopefully someone else will add any details
I'm not thinking of).  And you could paint the
distributor hold-down bracket black, but they were
bare metal from the factory.

Better yet, visit Dick Benjamin's '67 Imperial refurb
project at

which includes great pictures of a correctly restored
engine!
