valve cover gasket holes

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

You are probably correct about what was available in all of those years, but 
what came from the factory on Imperials was 4 bolt through 1962 and 6 bolt 
after that.

I have several cars from each series and that is the case on each and every 
one. none of my cars have had their cylinder heads replaced.
