Yes, I didn't word my post above all that clear, but I do agree with the green for the lower alternator bracket. I chose to paint that bracket green for Dad's 66 based on what I had posted above.

Yes, YH to match your engine's suffix code would be my best guess. Although looking at the photo I'm having a hard time making out any letters ... the guy that wrote it on there must not have had very good penmanship
60-66, thanks for posting that engine assembly order chart. I'm glad to see that it backs up my theory/guess about the lower alt bracket getting bolted onto the engine before the whole assembly got painted.
Although I don't think I'd ever try painting or coating a set of exhaust manifolds to match the engine, that's pretty good to know that Flint put them on after paint.
I noticed that doesn't list the clutch housing on the Tonawanda built engines. That agrees with what I remember reading in an engine detailing article that said the bellhousings on the Tonawanda built engines were installed after the engine was delivered to the vehicle assembly line. And as a result they didn't get engine color overspray on them like the bellhousings on Flint built engines.
