Thanks for that! The valve covers are bl plain no stickers. I will check the #s against your info to confirm it is correct. As for the paint, the turquoise is too dark with way too much blue in it. Perhaps the hue has faded over the years though the firewall which was protected from the sun seems so vibrant and unaltered. It really seems to match the "Jade" color in the paint chips from your database. I see other clippers where the firewall is the same as the hood and fenders but this cars firewall and engine are a match for the jade that was on the roof and trunk. Perhaps a long distant resto or repair but with my experience in vehicle resto there was never a repaint over the orig lacquer on the exterior body. I was looking for someone to confirm some clippers may have came that way. No sense to document what is there before going over it I assume. thanks again
