57 THUNDER BIRD

[Guest Art Bautista]

I bought this car recently and I am planning to pull out the engine and transmission assembly to paint and replace all gaskets and seals.   would appreciate any help with the colors for the engine and compartment especially the following parts;

The generator had the front plate behind the belt pulley painted Ford red and the body black and I am wondering if it should be painted all black?  

The hood rod latch assembly mounted on the firewall should it be black or Argent ? like the power steering pump reservoir and bottom of the air cleaner.

The transmission bell housing is painted, Ford red and the pan is black 

What about the throttle linkage and brackets?

 

Thank you for your help.

The generator is all black.  The hood rod latch assembly is zinc cadium plated.  The bottom of the air cleaner is argent as is the cork.  The oil pan was engine color.  The trans bell, if an automatic, was natural cast.  I believe that the standard shift bell housing was painted engine color.

 

Throttle linkage on manifold was natural steel but the throttle rods 9727 and 9747 are cadium zinc.  Except for O/D cars  which had an aluminum center piece
