The diagrams shown here are a tool to be
used to find the appropriate part in the Master Parts
Catalog (MPC). The numbers you will see on these diagrams
are NOT part numbers! They are GROUP numbers, sometimes
referred to as the Basic Part Number. Armed with the
Group Number, you can refer to the section in the MPC which
includes this Group Number, which in turn will show a
listing of all the parts that share this Group Number, and
you need to choose the actual part number from this list,
based on your needs, such as model year, specific
application, color/style, etc.
Group Numbers for any vehicle part are
all the same, regardless of it's actual application. For
example, all Ford valve covers have a Group Number of 6582,
regardless of application...meaning a valve cover used
on a 4-cyl. Pinto engine and a HD diesel truck engine would
both share this Group Number. Once you look the Group Number
up in the MPC, there were be a full listing of valve covers
there, and it would be up to you to figure out which one you
need, based on the vehicle and engine model year, painted or
chrome, etc., and the final part number will be listed.
It's a part number's PREFIX and SUFFIX that denote the final
application, size, style, color, revisions, etc.
