Chevrolet used some 3837xxx numbers in 1955. The part numbers were rapidly being replace with later numbers after that. I have looked at 1954 and 1957 books (including history in 1957) and find no such casting number....could it be a Canadian head?

If you check the Filling Station online you might find replacement elements for the top part and also sceening for the sides.
Seem to me it's better that playing with gas or other solvents that can damage the environment or your health.
