For 1960 Chrysler and Desoto 361/383/413, were original factory valve covers attached using studs/nuts, or bolts? Please only reply if you are sure. Thanks.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		On my '60 Saratoga with 383, there are studs mounted. When I removed the valve covers for to change the valve cover gaskets, I notised that no one ever removed the valve covers. So, studs are likely original.

Location: Ramona, CA		Studs. They sometimes come out if the nut is stuck on them and get replaced with bolts, but studs are correct.
