Raven R code 281 Report post Posted January 9, 2016 Anyone know the correct color for the 69 power steering pump? I was once told it was a chysler color (blue). Is it a metallic paint? Thanks! 1 1 yvonnefu11 and lizzieye69 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machm1970 180 Report post Posted January 9, 2016 I have seen both dark blue metallic or black. You can buy the correct blue metallic from NPD. Beware though, I bought some from CJ's that they listed as correct, when I got it the paint was the lighter teal blue for 66's which is different, the can read "65-73 power steering pump paint." NPD has the correct stuff though. Matt 1 lizzieye69 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raven R code 281 Report post Posted January 22, 2016 Has anyone ever seen letter stamps like this on a power steering pump? Anyone know what it means and where to buy stamps like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machm1970 180 Report post Posted January 22, 2016 I haven't seen a stamp like that. I did have a local place make an "OK" stamp for me to replicate the stamp on the driver's side valve cover, cost me $10. I would be willing to bet there's a local place that could do that for you too. Matt 1 yvonnefu11 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted January 24, 2016 Mine is stock, and appears to be black. Sorry it's too cold in the garage for me to crawl under to look for stamps- the east coast is having a bit of weather! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnett468 418 Report post Posted January 24, 2016 that stamp is probably from a rebuilder. the correct color depends on the mfg plant but most common is yis metallic dark blue with a hint of green to it . . nor ford did use a chrysler color although a gm color may be very close. unless you are going for points judged concours, i would just get some aerosol exterior body color lacquer from an auto store. if you want concours, use PPG DAR 12366. 1 1 lizzieye69 and yvonnefu11 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raven R code 281 Report post Posted January 24, 2016 The pump is original and removed from the car in 1973. Been in a box ever since. I have picked up the paint from NPD and sprayed a test shot to check color correctness. It is very close but not perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
