To the OP just buy a can of each and see which shade of blue matches the best...

Krylon #1923
Duplicolor #1606
Plastikote # 224

they're all Ford blue, just varying shades but if you're after an original look i think the 224 comes the closest.

I also noticed the color comes out a little different when you first spray it, compared when it drys. I like the dark blue it is period correct for our dents.

Thanks bro, I love to see original period correct, just something about old school, is just cool to see once in a while.

You should do the 224 with white Rally stripes.

Just a thought

It's probably just the lighting (or lack there of) i've seen the 1606 in the sunlight and it's pretty close to original.

This is my 352 I used por-15 engine kit, Ford corporate blue. I am real happy with the way it came out. This pic doesn't do any justice. I got the timing chain cover and headers both ceramic coated. Don't know about black being a chevy color. I have a stock 223 in my 62' pretty sure they're black block, Ford red valve cover.
