I agree on some marks representing quality inspection or completion, but an example of parts identification was on the different distributors used for the '66 396 depending on engine hp. Per the Assembly Manual, the 360 hp option distributor had a white dab of paint where the std 325hp and the other optional 375hp had different colors. It saved time in not having the line workers reading part numbers over and over.

I'm not sure I agree with that. It was my understanding the inspection marks were made to let evryone know pieces were installed, adjusted, tightened. Not to identify parts.
