Engine Colors
I just bought a 1976 F150 and i am wanting to keep it as original as possible. Do you know what the colors for the valve covers and air cleaner was? I think it was just ford blue but im not sure.

Ford Blue would be a good guess.
If you get an aftermarket engine paint (such as VHT) that claims to be Ford Blue, make sure you shake it up really well before using it. I got a can a couple of years ago to spray on my newly rebuilt engine, and I was amazed at the color differences between the first shot and the later shots. I was certain I shook the can pretty long and vigorously before spraying, but the colors that came out at the two different times made me wonder whether I was using the same can. (I was)
