BBC Valve Cover ID help/opinions
 

I got these valve covers with some parts I picked up today and would lie to know what they are for. They are factory painted valve covers. The strange part is they have no drippers. I do not remember seeing any factory covers with no drippers before. I thought they were possibly 65-66 Corvette but Crane's website says those covers had drippers. Any guesses?


Thanks,

my guess would be 69 325 hp chevelle or big car

Re: BBC Valve Cover ID help/opinions
 

All 69 Chevelle SS396 had chrome valve covers, even 325hp ones. Could be from a pickup.

Re: BBC Valve Cover ID help/opinions
 

I do not think Impalas and bigger cars had chrome valve covers

Thanks for the ideas guys. So 69 low horse big cars came with non dripper covers? Truck is also a possibility except I do not think the driver's cover would need the brake detent.

I think I see clips on the inside of the drivers side cover for the temp sender wire??? If so 66-67 396 fullsize valve covers.

Re: BBC Valve Cover ID help/opinions
 

Yes, the driver's cover has clips.


THANKS!

If only they had drippers, I need a set just like that but with drippers. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Bummer. Just put a couple eraser marks in the primer before painting them to simulate the spotwelds. Then you can run roller rockers with the correct look.

I parted out an all original big block 1969 Caprice years
ago. It had these identical valve covers right down to the
non-drippers provision.
