Painting 69 442 400 engine: Restoration help

Hey guys

Working on a customers 69 442 and he wants as much as possible brought back to original

So I've repainted the engine in Bronze but not sure about some of the accessories that are on it.

So I need colours for the following parts:

Accessory brackets
Pullies
Dipstick tube
Coil mount
Distributor housing
Air Cleaner housing

Transmission
Trans Pan
Trans Dipstick tube

Might have more questions later as I put this thing back together haha

Thanks!

Les

Some people who have this down cold, might be able to add more to this, but I've answered below with what I know.

So I need colours for the following parts:

Accessory brackets--MOST ARE BLACK
Pullies--BLACK
Dipstick tube--CHROME/BARE METAL--think the repops are chromed
Coil mount
Distributor housing
Air Cleaner housing--RED

Transmission--My Muncie is the aluminum case. Think other transmissions were as well.
Trans Pan
Trans Dipstick tube

Might have more questions later as I put this thing back together haha

Thanks!

Les
Also, here are some pics. Not sure if what was done was 100% accurate, but others can comment if it's wrong.








And peace!
