What’s the best color for the A/C bracket, and the spacers?

Marty,
Do you happen to have a good engine color reference guide, or even a good photo that shows all the items and their correct colors, that you could share?

Thanks

Arlie, it looks like you could use a slightly longer fan spacer? Blades should be approximatley 1/2 inside of the fan shroud. Picture is cut off, but looks like fan is mostly outside? Maybe yes, maybe no?

Scott,
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll probably need to get a 2-groove pulley anyway. That should push it out far enough.

I did all the bracketry in Semi gloss black. The spacers in basecoat dull aluminum + a very light coat of gold, to simulate a gold anodized appearance (like the Alternator spacer).

PS: I think the MCA judging sheets specify colors of the engine & accessories.

Is this the correct coil placement?
