Title: 66 Hertz thermostat color
Post by: ChrisV289 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.
