68 318 color

[Idaho fish]

I understand that the original color for the 318 in a 68 barracuda was red. Is there a specific red that was used and is it easy to find. The engine I have is a 70 so its a different color but I want to make it look as close to original as I can when I put it back together.

Chrysler Industrial Red. VHT, Duplicolor, Eastwood, and others have it. VERY similar to International Harvester Red.
