Correction to the 5th edition 1958-1960 TIM & JG

[Keith R.]

Found another "typo" on page 179 of the new 5th edition TIM & JG. In the middle of the page, it states that "A 'Rp' logo and '7014881' are cast into the cover" of the Control Diaphram cover. This initially threw me for a loop as I have "7014781" cast into the cover of mine. A closer look at the number displayed in the photo on the same page clearly shows the number to be "7014781". Editors of this edition please take note.

Keith, That's probably my fault as I edited the FI material many times.
The '58 to '60 FI info is the most complicated of any other years.
The '4781 number was used on the late '57 to '62 covers, then on the '63 to early '64 cover and finally on the later '64 to '65 covers.
So when judging or buying this cover you need to look for more than the number. Thanks, John

Okay John, you hooked me. So, other than the number and what is described in the 5th Edition TIM & JG, what do we look for?
