    Bill,

    Look under the bonnet, there should be a little alu plate connected to the firewall with the paint code on it.

    Will look like this:

    A bonnet is more commonly referred to as a hood. :grin:

    Paint code follies

    Hi,
    As far as it being a code 67, when I look it up on the internet it gives 4 colors for the 76 year..Musket brown and brentwood look really close, how can I tell the difference? Thanks..

    Finally Found It...

    Ok,
    after the tenth time "no kidding" looking for this "alu tag" I finally found it..Right where you guys said it would be, on the firewall..67 and 64 are the codes "right again on both of them" and now I know..The plate was covered with so much crap I couldn't even see the 2 little screws that hold it down..I did a degrease today in the engine compartment, but never did the firewall..should of now that I think about it..Thanks for Everyones help..I love this forum..Makes things alot easier to people like me that haven't been doing this for a long time.. :TU: :grin: :beer
