I know there are several colors of engine paint, even the goofy GM corporate blue used in the 70's.
My 77 T/A engine color looked spot on like picture in post 2....

This is the list of paint colors most people refer to: http://www.pontiacpower.org/enginecolor.htm

I personally like Plasti-Cote #208 spray cans, I think the color is the closest match to original and the cans spray out pretty well.

Plasticote 208. I found it very hard to locate. Parts stores don't seem to want to carry the Plasticote line anymore. I had to order from Butler. Still a good price and delivered quick.

B.H. paint isn't correct and it doesn't last on the shelf. #208 is what you want.
