ive got a 79 spit and the valve cover is painted the same color,
although from what i have seen, chevy orange is slightly lighter in
color (at leasst on my 63). unfortunately i don't have paint codes for
the engine compartment.
larry, 1979 spitfire (currently in permanant convertible
mode)
of all the things i've lost i miss my mind the most,
i stopped to think one day and forgot to start again
