Here's some notes from Dave Wise's book (E-Body only):

• 1970 383+4 = Orange & White
• 1970 340+6 = Pink & Green
• 1970 Hemi Suspension (440 / 440+6 / Hemi) = Med Blue & White

I'm sorry, I do not know the colors for a 340-4 car.

That's a great find!  I'm going to save that photo.

I just soaked my 3400044 leaf springs in Evapo rust and found what appears to be a yellow and white mark on each spring. Is it possible that the yellow is a shade of green like in the OP's first picture ?

I would say the very first picture posted of Dave Waldo's car is yellow and white.

I agree ...but it reminds me of a Day Glo florescent safety yellow, I'm not 100% mine is yellow. I thought I read years ago that the inspection marks were made in factory body colors.

That was always my understanding as well...
