Just a note....
By John - 09/20/2002 6:39:51 PM; IP 142.177.81.211
I paint mine black. Just looks nicer regardless of the original colour. If you paint it blue, it looks like the kind of "quickie" paint job the machine shop might do if they have rebuilt your engine.....i.e. el cheapo!(you know, protruding gasket edges painted and everything!) Incidentally, I sold my 66 Mustang about 3 years ago for $5500. The lady who bought it dropped by last fall to show me her apraisal for $18,500. God bless her! Anyway, as I had restored the car quite a while before she bought it, she had some detail work done which included spraying the alternator and the power steering pump with Aluminum paint. Just awful! I had the pump black and the alternator natural aluminum with the center laminations painted black. So, black is cool for all accessories, NOT aluminum, NOT chrome, and NOT blue! And yes, I know FE afficiendos, it was a 289 in the Mustang!

 Might look nice, but any blue on that part is overspray. [n/m] -- Mr F, 09/19/2002
