Default Re: 1968 CAMARO L-78 VALVE COVERS

Only focusing on the driver side one (single hole)I agree with Sully on not being correct for 70. I think this is a 69 only design, but not certain whether is was used in 68. The spark wire tower is in the correct position for a 69 Camaro, forward of the rear bolt hole. Chevelle was the same design, except that the spark wire tower was aft of the rear bolt hole. Missing, however, is the temp sending unit wire clip on the lower side. Could have been lost....look to see if there any weld marks.

Not to derail the thread...

But does anyone make a "cheater" taller version of that OE style chrome cover?? Need to hide some fancy valvegear

There are extensions you can buy, that are about 1/2" thick. If you paint the piece and the lower gasket, they sort of blend into the block. Peter Klute did that for an L88 on one of his shows.
