I know in most '62s they were red, and I once owned another '62 w/a red engine. I have contacted USA Parts Supply, and they have what's listed as correct for the 394, but it's a darker green, like you'd see on say '55s with the yellow "Oldsmobile Rocket" stenciling on the valve covers.
I think I'm right, they think they're right, and all I want to do is do it right!

The 60 engine I'm not sure of - the 62s all High compression 394s are Rocket Red. Low compression engines are green/turquoise - Contact the Olds History Museum for Definitive answers.
