66 Hertz thermostat color
« on: January 13, 2011, 10:33:47 AM »
What color should the thermostat housing be on a 66 hertz shelby?  I've seen both blue and unpainted (aluminum) to match the intake manifold. I'm thinking blue but want to be sure...

Since it was just swapped over from the cast iron intake, they would normally be block color... including the attaching bolts and by-pass hose/clamps.

Thanks Charles...I had a feeling it was going to be blue.  I knew the bolts were blue, just seen too many variatons on the thermostat housing.  I'll make sure my father paints his blue
