Hi there

Couple of questions:

1. What is the paint code for the red-orangy 170ci engine paint and where to get/order?

2. Would you recommend an electric fuel pump or stay with the original mech pump? The engine is stock standard 170ci and is currently using "Mitsubishi" electric "tick-tick" fuel pump (the mech pump is not working).

Thanx for all the help guys.

Cheers

DupliColor spray cans available from most auto parts stores...Chrysler Industrial Red.

I use mechanical pumps... mostly for noise control and reliability.
For high power applications, I will add an electric "pusher" pump, back at the tank, the plumb a second fuel line up to the carb. or N2O system. The electric pump gets turned-on when extra fuel is needed.

Got this reply from Dupli-color:

"Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately we do not have any distribution
of our products outside of North America. I apologize I could not help you
with this request.

Hmm...

There are two ways to get the Dupli-Color paint outside the USA...
1. Have a SL6er ship it to you
2. Obtain a color chip and have it mixed locally.

hi, see if you can get or search duplicolor #DE1632 chrysler industrial red for your engine. ronnie

I have found that VHT engine enamel in bright red color (SP121) is a pretty good match to Chryslers red .
see if that brand is available where you are.


the same paint on my engine.



made in USA but if it is available in Australia,perhaps in Malaysia also?

regards,Rod

VHT is good paint. We use the ceramic version on headers, intakes and engines.
