1970 L78 vs LS5 Valve Covers

Thanks - I think it's a K. And maybe the covers on the LS5 were the exact same part anyway? I found a pic of an L78 restoration which shows a short straight breather hose on a cowl car - whether that was correct or not.

That photo tells the story...the spacer on top of the carb raises the level of the air cleaner so that a straight hose is correct. There was no cowl hood on the Nova...your valve covers are a Chevelle item and definitely one with a cowl hood.

Covers for LS5-6 were the same as far as I know...
