Re: are these 390 valve covers???

["Gary Walker" <NashFlash@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have some like that. ( somewhere )   I do not remember where I got them, 
but they are chrome and are AMC  OEM, and I do not remember if they have a 
tag.  I think not, but I do not have time to look for them right now.  They 
may have been replacements as the ones for sale are.  The punch and die 
impressions MAY have been to answer requests by racers for provision for 
extra breathers, but I would not assume that.  I may ask my old friend Thad 
who was an AMC mechanic for AMC dealers in the sixties, seventies and 
eighties and owned and drag raced the '68 AMX that is my S/Pro car.  He 
remembers a lot of stuff that went on between the racers and the Corporation 
back then.
       Your AMC friend,
        Gary Walker
