    I'm assuming it is the same, just wanted some confirmation. Pretty please.

    Thanks. I have a tiny leak and a drop will get into the fan when driving and divide in 99 drops all over my pretty white inner fenders, lol. I want to install a new gasket and might as well chrome the cover if I'm changing it. I'd need to find an extra one so I don't suffer down time while waiting for plating. Just need to know what to look for since I don't know for sure if my engine is 365 or 390.

    Thanks!!!!

    I just like the intoxicating effect of staring into chrome. It's like I said about candy paint being like the abyss. Am I staring into the chrome or is the chrome staring into me?

    The timing cover was something I wish I had done before installing the engine, but didn't because I assumed as a recent rebuild it wouldn't be leaking. It's only leaking a tiny bit, but it's enough to look like a mess when the fan spreads it out. That, and I didn't want to pull the balancer off and risk screwing up the stock timing marks.

    Chrome plating is my pet project. Oil leaks are my pet peeves. It's a win/win.
