What shade of blue, for the block?

What is the correct color for a 1970 351 windsor in a Mach1? If you go to autozone,advanced,or Reilly's they have 3 or 4 to choose from. I think they are the duplicolor brand? Anyone know the correct shade? Thanks

I don't think any are "correct" enough for concours type cars. I used old ford blue from Duplicolor I think it was 206.

Look on the concours board, good info there.

Old Ford Blue is what I had always used as well. It's not concours correct, but it will get the job done.

I have ford blue de16c1 which is a lighter shade, and dark ford blue de1606. Both duplicolor engine enamel. I'll post some pics of each color on the block later when I get a chance. I went with the 1606, but I'm going for correct either.
