so confusing.. maybe that's an oversprayed color as well? I'm at the point that I'm just thinking of spraying it gray and be done with it..
Neither of those blues is correct for a 60-66 v8 as far as I'm concerned. It was gray for the 283s and turquoise/teal/alpine green (whatever you want to call it) for the 327s. Neither v8 was blue (light or dark). Does the "Hi-Torque 283" decal still exist on the passenger side valve cover? If it's truly original paint that decal (or its remnants/outline) should still be visible.
