Rocket Red.
I've had good results with Holts Duplicolor in the past but that was many moons ago.
I do have a can of 3M brand Rocket Red that I used to paint my new thermostat cover (cause Supercrap were out of Duplicolor) and it seems OK except it took ages to dry from memory.

Duplicolor Chev orange-red is the closest you will get in a can these days unless you can find one of the old can. rocket red is wrong in the cans they make now for a 73 engine.

AFAIK Holden engines were never painted Chevy orange.

The following LC LJ Torana clutch housing still wears it original factory Rocket Red overspray.
I'm not trying to say the colour/shade of the test sample is right or wrong. Just showing how the 3M Rocket Red compares.
