Paul,
Thanks for the info and the website reference. However, the engine that this
head is on doesn't quite match up with the references. The engine number I
have is 18V659M which I'm guessing is probably in the same 72-74 era. The
head is painted the same black as the engine, but the valve cover is painted
gold.

... Quotes 12H2923 as the head casting
number for an 18V672/673 i.e. for North America from 72 to 74. As a Gold
Seal rebuild this would originally have been painted gold and the engine
number prefix would have been 48G 737 and not 18V 672/673. This gold seal
replacement is also for 18V 584/585 engines used in North America in 71 and
72.
