C1 Engine Compartment Paint or Finish

[Christopher R.]

I did look at the JG, but I'm not sure I'm reading it right. Can anyone give me the paint or finish colors for the following engine compartment items on a 1962 340HP.

fan blades
fan clutch
fan/water pump pulley
water pump
engine mount

Chris- this is what I think is correct:

fan blades: semi-gloss black
fan clutch: natural/unpainted
fan/water pump pulley: semi-gloss black
water pump: chevy orange
engine mount: uprights: semi-gloss black, crosspiece: chevy orange

Hopefully Mr. Ernst will be along shortly to grade my work......
