HELP with engine color '63 394 2bbl

Big Joe P · 10-20-2006, 10:23 PM

I looking for the correct engine, valve cover, intake & exhaust manifold, colors for a 1963 Dynamic 88 Holiday 394 2bbl. I know the valve covers are kind of light blue, but the rest of my engine has lost all its paint. A resource or correct picture would be perfect.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome.

It should be a green color. Check out ebay for any restored 59-64 and you'll see it.

May I suggest you contact the Illiniois chapter of the Oldsmobile Club of America. Lotsa good folks that can help you out with finding the right shade.

What texasred said:

Should be a sea-foam green. That means it's a low compression engine designed to run on regular gas. High compression engines were red and required premium gas.
