I'll reply with a little info regarding the engine March, 73-74 engine paint color. I've seen and had the slate blue paint made by OEM, part #62230, which is advertised as correct for these cars. Seeing it, I always felt it was too dark, so I went with OEM 62220, which is advertised for early 73. In my mind, but only from memory, I felt that it was closer to what I'd seen on other original TAs. However, discussions on this site made me question my choice more. Now, after talking with Steve Schappaugh, and having him send me some paint that he had matched off of a very low mile car and a 2-week-old intake, I now see that I was off in my memory also. In the pictures below, the light blue is OEM 62220, the dark is OEM 62230, and the middle is Steve's paint. I am very pleased with the results and feel that it is probably the most correct color paint for these cars. The pictures were taken in daylight with no flash.
