restoring a 78 fj-40 ; need correct engine bay colors

[stargordon]

New to this .. I am restoring a 78 fj-40. I am currently on the engine and engine bay. every part of it will be redone. I am having a hard time finding a site that will tell me the correct colors for things like the engine block, silly things like the water pump , bolts etc. brake lines .. all of it. Does anyone know of a place I can go to ??? please help :hhmm

I don't think there's a reference for that. Ask away. I bought my '78 new and I've changed very little of it. It shows it's age, but it's pretty much stock.

The engine block is black. Aluminum parts/accessories (valve cover, alternator, fuel pump, intake manifold, carb, 1/2 of air pump) were bare, except for a clear protective coating that eventually yellows and cracks. Various mechanical/hardware stuff like accelerator linkage, hood rod, hood latch, heater pipe over push rod cover, and bolts are cad plated. I assume the brake lines are zinc plated.

This isn't a great photo of anything, but I just happened to have it handy. That's an electronic regulator on the firewall, not the stock regulator. Oh, and the prestone flush fitting is not stock.

there should be enough photos on this site or even ebay to restore any cruiser good luck
