Your F head has the intake valves in the head, with rockers under that valve cover...  The L has all the valves in the block, and the head is a fancy flat cover that only has the plugs in it... a "flathead"

The L-head is a "Go-Devil", the F-head is a "Hurricane".  The F-head had a PR man working on it...  LOL
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Other easy things to look for on an F Head....
Carb on the passenger side, not the drivers, and single manifold (exhaust) on the drivers side, not dual manifold.
