Has anyone fully identified the actual "Blue Grey" color they indicate in that article?
Practically all of the 216-235 engines I have seen (when any trace of original paint is still left on them) have had a light blue color that is VERY close to the Duplicolor "Pontiac Blue", kind of a slate tinged light blue. I also compared it to the color of the old Houston Oilers.
I have encountered one 235(early '53 w/2 holes on top) valve cover that was a dark and flat grey, almost a "mud grey" or "exhaust" color, way darker than the usual machine grey most guys use. I am not "most guys" and I am NOT going machine grey on mine!
