This needs to be repeated. There is no correct shade of 63-66 6cyl or v8 chevy pickup engine paints sold today. THe aftermarket does not seem interested in this low volume business. The best you can do is get close. For now Alpine green aka Detroit Diesel green or Ford green engine paints are the closest. Remember paint colors tones down over years through heat and thru the use of degreaser chemicals. When Alpine green tones down, IMO, it will be too light, when Ford Green tones down it will closer the the valve covers posted by astronaut. To get any more definative info, we will need to wait for super clean low mileage 66 327 to show up, equal to the calibur of oem4me 66 turquiose 250 or 60-66's 66 red GMC.
