I have two air cleaner tops that came with my 67 L79 and I am trying to determine if one of them is original. Hopefully pictures of the two are attached. The bottom sides show the greatest variations so I have two pictures of each. The newer of the two (on the left) is cleaner and the old dirtier so I will refer to them as the new and the old. The new one has a very distinct and clean rolled edge on the underside. The old one has a rolled edge but it is not as smooth and uniform and the roll isn't all the way back on itself. Also, the old top has a very distinct rise in the center of the underside, significantly more noticeable than the new top. The lettering on both tops looks about the same except that the lettering on the old top is still intact whereas it is coming off on the newer top.
I have the 5th edition of the JG and it has pictures of a top on page 108. The older top looks like the underside pictured at the top of the page. However, there is another inset crop at the bottom of the page that seems like a different center (from that at the top of the page). So in spite of the JG I am still confused.
I would appreciate any comments and if some could post pics of original tops showing the same areas on the shots I have attached. Thanks for your help and comments. Jim B
