Can someone validate the manifold paint color? It is "Old Ford Blue DE1621"? Thanks in advance.

For 1968 it was actually called "Ford Coporate Blue". The manifold and engine were all the same color. If you us "Old Ford Blue" it's too lite. Best color to use is "Dark Ford Blue". I'll post the name of the stuff I used when I get home tonight. Most of your parts places carry it.
OK - Dupli-Color Engine Enamel, Ford Dark Blue, DE1606.

This is the most correct
Plasti-kote
Engine Enamel
Ford Blue NO.224
Silver and gray can
I have seen parts places call this Dark Ford Blue as well.

The power steering pump should be a different color than the engine color. It is more of a silvery teal blue color, at least on my 70 Mach it was and same for my GTA. I'll check with my restoration guy and find out what it is exactly. Probably won't be before Monday though. If someone could post a pic, I'll email it to them to show the PS pump on my GTA.
