My 340's got the Blues...err Turquoise that is...

It's interesting how may sites that don't even list turquoise as a option. Either red or orange. Here's a nice chart from Turbine car.com. abd the note that doesn't tell much. ***Note on 1969 and 1970 340LA engines - many were painted Street Hemi Orange - the list below says they all were - for any 340 engine that appears to be more orange than red - if you know it was original - then use the P4349216View attachment 1715085671

thi chart seems to go along with what the first paint chart you posted....and doesn't show the '69 340 as turquoise. Still agree with everyone, that the '69's were turquoise...or at least the late '69's! Had to chuckle a bit because the this chart shows '68 "318 police special" as orange...and reg 318's as red...could open up a whole nother can of worms! Because the 318 i pulled out of my '68 was orange! and it was no police special! just a good ol 2 barrel.
