Don and Martin,


Did the pictures help at all? Does it look like I have the covers paired correctly?


Thanks,


Jason

Well Jason, seems you've got a real hodge-podge of maybe everything. I've marked a couple on the attachment of your original picture which seem to have the shape of a 69 Chevelle. However, I don't know which ones in the other photos are these two. Most of your descriptions provide multiple clips, but there was just the one clip on the 69 Chevelle cover (driver side outside).

OK, I know the one on the right is set one since it is the only set with duct tape around the towers. I will try to figure out which the other is. Thanks for the help.

Set One is 69 Camaro and probably Nova. I don't know for sure if they are the same. The driver's side has the spark plug stand forward of the rear inner bolt hole and the outside clip is for the temperature sender wire.

I don't recognize the others but I have seen some of them before at swap meets.

Set 5 looks to be `70 Chevelle, and in set 4 the passenger side cover is the same as in set 5.
They have the extra clips on the inside for the TCS wiring, and the clip to hold a wire by the exhaust side to a separate temp sender.

You guys are great. When I get ready to sell I will be sure to include free shipping and a SYC discount.
