Title: 1966 200 6 Cylinder Alternator Brackets Correct Color
Post by: 6S280 on September 16, 2015, 07:44:08 PM

What is the correct color for the lower alternator bracket mounted to the block and for the upper alternator bracket mounted to the water pump? I am working on a 1966 Dearborn Sprint 200 C-4 automatic, non-AC and non power steering with an April February, 1966 scheduled build.  Thanks, Roger

The top bracket I believe is black but the adjustment bracket can be blue or black.

For the two Alternator Brackets in question, Both should be painted Ford Corporate Blue for the 1966 Model year, The same as the engine color.  I don't think there was any deviation that I know of for these bracket colors between plants.  I think that they were all painted Blue for '66.  I have never seen otherwise.
