Hi all. Wondering if anyone has any insight on how to identify original factory 409 valve covers. I was told the originals had the dimples on top from the spot welds....anything else I can look for that would help distinguish?
Attached are a few photos of my covers. The first one is an example of one of the dimples which are a result of the factory spot weld on the under side (at least, that's what I've been told).
The other is a photo of what appears to be some "creasing" at the corners, in which I wouldn't think you'd find on any reproduction.
Of course, I could be talking out of my ass - thoughts and/or more experienced opinions wanted.
