    Can anybody tell me where to buy engine paint that matches the original red color for the 1970 engines? THANKS!

    I did mine just before Salem and I ended up using a total of 4 cans of the NAPA Duplicolor (DH1608) that gave me two-plus complete coatings. I also prepped the engine by using the Castrol Super Clean cleaner/degreaser. That stuff is amazing and rinsed off nicely - is also biodegradable.
