the two i have used are dupli color 1601-light ford blue and 1606-dark ford blue.

here is a good shot of the two together:

neither matches the original which i suspect is a third color (or maybe just faded dark blue).

I have always been a fan of the dark Ford blue, even if it is used on engines that were originally light Ford blue, unless the light blue is used on restored vehicles.

After Ice set me straight I researched Dupli-Color and found an Old Ford Blue (1621), maybe that is the third missing color.

It isn't the greatest but it doesn't look too bad back together.

I wish I knew which went where with the how and why.

I found on my sidevalve, that if you paint it white first, and then the colour!, it covers better and the colour is more vibrant!,,,,,,dark blue gets my vote!
