if you noticed both part#'s end in '89' I posted an article in Feb [see below] that discussed the notion of fake parts If you read the article, they interviewed a parts dealer which work directly with the China dealers. so you will always find fake parts, because the salvage business is not perfect. both links still work.

Most of the parts are marked correctly,and they apparently used fake datecodes to distinguish the re-stamped parts.
