Joel now I'm cinfused.
Ron Fraser...can you help out.
My Tiger B382002668 was built is Dec 1996.. it has the 18KC engine
with Rev 9. I'm about to paint it in a few weeks. I asuumed from
the earlier discussion it should be DE 1606. I'm covering was is
a very dark blue. Since my car is near the end of MK IA, did Sunbeam
use DE1606 oer perhaps DE 1601. My question is: Is DE 1601 the

I do not see where the BON indicates the actual number. I show DE1606 is Ford
Dark Blue for 1969 - 1981. Old Ford Blue for 1963 (some) - 1965 was the
DE1601 and Crop Ford Blue 1966-1968 as DE1621. Still not too sure if color is
based on year of engine or year of car.

Check the BON again. Old Ford Blue (corporate Ford Blue) is DE 1606.

The links to the Ford Engine Colors was excellent as well as the Mustang
Monthly article, thanks for that.

My
motor seems to be a hybrid of sorts. 6 bolt - 1965 or 1966 block with the
3/8" rod bolts, 1964 intake, 1963 Autolite 4100 600 CFM carb. Appears to be
289 HiPo configuration, screw in studs and spring seats in the head. The
transmission was a 1964 close ratio but has been changed to wide ratio 2,3,4
and counter with a new larger bearing retainer cover to fit the 8 bolt
alumiumn bell housing. 4 holes will have to be drilled and tapped to
accomodate the 1964 transmission case for the bell housing.
My best guess at
this point is the Old Ford Dark Blue - Duplicolor DE 1601 (According to BON)
based on MK 1 from ~ B382000601 to end.
My question is this: Do you paint
based on the year of the car or the year of the motor?
Thanks
