Hmmmm, My '66 T-3 does not have the seperate piece of tin over the spark
plug holes. It is one solid upper cylinder cover tin. When I tore my
engine down, there were signs and definate indications that the engine
was a virgin, and had never been apart before.
I had forgotten about the different tin on the early single carb
engines.
