It's great you're getting to enjoy your Mach 1 and putting on some (s)miles. Your PS pump looks good natural; maybe even better than the original metallic teal color.

The original color of the pump would have been metallic teal? How did I not see that anywhere before now?

Yes a shade of teal.
My original PS pump bracket were phosphate and oil so I lightly media blasted it and took 0000 steel wool to it then satin cleared it.
I got the PS pump paint from NPD.

I have heard that. Back in the 70s when I scoured the wrecking yards for parts all have recall seeing were variations of the teal color. Anghel (?) restoration or the concours Mustang site may have a more definitive answer.
