BTW, if adding back the various paint daubs keep in mind that the transmissions were sitting with the input shafts pointed towards the ground and the paint drips ran towards the front of the car. Also, the shade or paint did not fade much if any being under the car most of it's life, try to match any color you find as closely as possible. That green on mine was a true pale/mint green, not a faded version of something else, the yellow "605" is a darker yellow, not bright yellow, etc. The paint was usually a bit thin and was usually a bit transparent once applied, most were applied in rapid fashion and were not perfect and solid like many stamps you see that are added back. Also, the transmission cases were bare cast iron, not painted cast iron gray. If you have your case perfectly clean you can add back the markings and preserve it from rusting while retaining a perfectly original bare cast finish by treating the bare iron with RPM. It works EXTREMELY well at preventing rust from returning.
