I got a few things done today. I Installed the timing cover,the oil pan, painted my pulleys and brackets,Ground my rockers for spring retainer clearance, and did a oil change and trans service on my tool truck. I still can't find the red paint I like. The oil pan is Napa Mopar red. I went to Sherwin Williams this morning looking for the elusive KS130 which is supposed to be the correct color. KS130 is listed as cherry/American Beauty/Inl.Harvester red. I bought a can of K362 cherry red and it's not the right shade. It's not quite as blood red as the NAPA Intl. Harvester red. The timing tab in my photo is K362 compared to Napa IH on the oil filter adapter. If I see a red small block on here I will pm the owner and find out what paint they used. I think I need to get away from the IH red. It's too blood red and not bright enough. I 'm picky I guess but my distributor and bell housing are more red than the NAPA red which is more orange red.........I need a whisky!!! LOL ( I didn't look at these photos before I loaded them here) toolman
