Actually I think Blue became the official color in '66, I didn't even pay attention to that. It has a PCV that is plumbed into the factory carb spacer and the intake has the original opening cast over. It also has an alternator which is later than the '64 model. The intake casting number appears to be C6 although it could be 8. The cap that the PCV is in is an early 70s and the PCV is at least that new. The top loader, I don't believe was used behind the smallblock until '66. I also notice another small block in the back corner so it may have later been swapped or the top end( doesn't explain the alt.) changed. There is also a VW case on the side of it, apparently a guy after my own heart.
