1969 Camaro Fuel Line Clips

[Lynn]

I am sure you will get differing answers. All my 3/8 clips with the tabs were a dull silver. I blasted them, painted them with dull cast aluminum 500 degree paint and baked them in the oven. Incredibly durable surface.

The only blues ones I encountered were the 5/16 clips with the locating pin. Those I did the same thing, but used chevy blue engine paint, and again baked them for an hour at 400.

The 5/16 without tabs were black on my car, so.... well you get the idea.

Hello CamaroNos,

Those look to be 3952717 3/8" type 4 tang which were Zinc or natural. Later replaced by 343463 also in natural. I have seen this listed as Blue by AMK.

The blues ones are (3953272 I believe) replaced by 343464 5/16" (1/4 or 5/16 tube od x 17/32 x 1/2) in blue solid marking dye (see below for the current marking dye used). Back in the day it was transparent marking dye. Layout fluid, that I am used to, while transparent is not the right shade of blue.



The 3952718 5/16" pipe with 23/32 hole green were also transparent marking dye it. It was also replaced by 343464 in blue.

Probably more information than you asked for......
