[FWDLK] 1959 Dodge engine color

[Leon Haddix <Bigfins5657@xxxxxxx>]

In response to Jim's question:

I don't have anything written as to the engine colors, but I do think it 
depends on the engine size. Back in '59, I bought a new 1959 Custom Royal 
Lancer with the 383 engine and the color was sort of a greenish blue as I 
recall.  The car itself was all white with turquoise fins, big spinner 
hubcaps,  twin antenna's, with a black and turquoise vinyl interior (cloth 
inserts) topped off with swivel seats.........what a beauty!

I gather that the 2 colors on the engine are Silver (Block, heads, =
manifold) and Red (Valve covers, sparkplug retainers, fan, and Power =
Steering pump/bracket). Is this correct?? What is the correct red to =
use? Any additions or subtractions?
