Valve Cover Color
Hi Alan! I got the "Gold" out of this.. Because it said "Gold", but the Part # listed is a C3AZ-A,B-Gold; part. Is that for a '63? When I saw "Gold" I assumed that was a short abbreviation for "Goldenrod Yellow". That color name is NOT found in 7.3.3.2 in the 1960 listing towards the bottom of that page. That color is not even mentioned on that page. That page does not state that the official valve color is Goldenrod Yellow for the 352 engine. Only in the pictures below it does it say that all valve covers for the 1959 are blue and all valve covers for the 1960 is Goldenrod Yellow. Sorry I can't get this lined up as it is in the CD, but here is where I got "Gold" from...
