Default Valve cover identification

Does anyone know exactly what these fit? They have no drippers and the power booster relief. I have an idea of the application but am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. They will be for sale after I confirm application.

Thanks,


Jason

Doesn't the fact that it does not have drippers,mean it is for a hydraulic Lifter engine application?

My 69 L35 clearly has drippers on the original valve covers.

I believe all 1967 and up valve covers had the drippers regardless of the horse power rating. 1970 covers are also unique as they had 2 wire clips on the passenger side for a TCS switch and 1 on the drivers side for the temp sending unit. My guess is these covers are off a '65-66 big block. What are you asking for them.

The flattened rear corner IDs these as '68-'70 Corvette. '65-'67 Corvette covers were not chromed; '71-up have the push-in oil cap. After 16 years in the business end of the hobby I've seen plenty of non-dripper covers, generally used on hydraulic lifter engines.
