I have began the restoration of my 66 Tiger #2470 built sept 1966 and would like to restore it as close as I can to how it was originally.
I have started with the engine, It has a C4OE-6015-E block cast date of 5C20 with an assembly date of 5K14B. I believe this to be the original.
I have determined it was Ford Corporate blue in color.
It appears to have all the original components and I would like to replicate the original finishes and this is where I need some direction and have questions
as to what they would be.
exhaust manifolds, were they painted black ? or left natural ?
motor mount heat shields ? painted black or natural ?
the brake servo Vacuum fitting at the rear of the intake is it a cad finish ?
what about the fitting that screws into it, that has the 2 copper washers that attach the vacuum hose to the servo ?
Is the water pump painted blue or left natural ?
Is the coil bracket phosphate and oil finish or painted black ?
The valve cover decal ? my valve covers need to be either rechromed or get new ones, where can I get a new engine decal and where can I get it stamped as the original ?
hose clamps ? are the rad hose clamps Ford tower type or are they worm gear type ?
heater hose clamps ? are they worm gear type or are they something else ?
carb spacer, painted blue with the engine ?
Is the generator belt a Fomoco belt supplied by Ford or is it British made ?
Thanks
