Hi all,
The valve covers on my '69 base model (300 HP/350 CID) were extremely leaky. After removing them, I found that the flanges have some slight bends from someone over-tightening the bolts in the past, which I suspect may be causing the leaks. Before I try to straighten them, I had a few questions I was hoping someone on here could help with.
1. Do these appear to be original/correct valve covers?
2. Does anyone know the part numbers for these and/or if any accurate reproductions are available? (I can't seem to find any.)
3. If trying to straighten them is my only option, does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to do so?
Thanks in advance! Here are pics of the valve covers:
