1966 ford fairlane gt 390 engine valve cover color

[MrMiles]

i am trying to find the correct color for the 1966 ford fairlane gt engine valve color. I have searched google for concours 390 correct and i am coming up with 4 different colors so far. the instructions say blue, but i dont always trust that because I have found incorrect info on the instructions in the past

 

1. chrome: Maybe? i know on the cobra jet version it was chrome, but I am not sure if the 390 was as well

2. black: I am pretty sure this is not correct

3. ford blue: maybe?

4. silver color: maybe?

IIRC, the 390 Thunderbird Special had plated rocker covers and air cleaner lid.

The vast majority of the ones I saw were blue with chrome stamped valve covers. The 427 cars has black engines with chrome stamped valve covers.

I owned a 1:1 '67 GTA in the late '70s and it was "corporate" blue with chrome rocker covers and air cleaner lid. The '66 had a chrome open element air cleaner like on the 289 HiPo.
