	It your Tiger.  We know that the original 260 engine was painted
Blue so paint it the shade of Ford Blue you like best.

Dave/Ron
I am leaning towards following the advice found in the Ford Engine colors
guide link supplied. With a B19KC motor designation for a 1966 MK 1A, this
guide indicates for 1966 - 1968 Corporate Ford Blue or Duplicolor DE 1621
(Old Ford Blue).

    BON just indicates 'Old Ford Dark Blue'.  The guide use verbage Old Ford
Blue DE1601 for 63-65, Corporate Ford Blue DE 1621 (Old Ford Blue) for
1966-1968 and Ford Blue DE 1606 (Ford Dark Blue) for 1969-1981.  None of the
DE descriptions uses "all" the verbage from BON of 'Old Ford Dark Blue'.

Not the low road (lighter DE1601) or the high/darker road DE1606 but
straight down the middle - DE1621 based on the year 1966 from the Ford
Engine Colors guide and BON (Guess) that B382000601 to end is Old Ford Dark
Blue - what ever that is based on Duplicolor descriptions.
