All I've ever seen were dark blue. I also like the dark blue better.

My 67 289 was dark blue and when I rebuilt it I painted it dark again.

I am fairly certain that it should be dark blue. I have pictures at home that I can send you. Everything I have access to now is '66 engine pictures (for some odd reason...).

FYI......duplicolor has three diff colors of ford blue......old ford blue, ford blue, and corporate ford blue....i believe old ford blue is the correct color but more importantly its the one i liked the best!!;D

SO I would go with what you like best.thats always the right color!

Here is the best pic of my once stock 68 engine bay. Not a great pic at all. I imagine that is the dark blue on the valve cover.

Here's a pic of a '68 I restored a couple of years ago . I use the "Old Ford Blue " ( dark ) . To see the rest of it go to : www.bigskybroncos.com/restorationspg2.html

This is off subject but I see the linkage on this photo of the '68 and I was wondering what years this style of linkage was normal. I have a '70(not original motor) and '75 that does not have this style but my '72 does. Thanks,

My 68 looked just like the picture except for the linkage. My linkage was a rod directly from the bell crank to the carb. However I did have the little linkage catch on the firewall so it seem that mine could of been changed.
