Correct 68 valve covers

**Bill Rose** · #1 12-08-2005, 02:27 AM

That sounds correct. I called Crane today, and they told me 68's and 69's should be the same with the temp wire clip but I'm 99% sure thats wrong. I'm going to look at what I know to be an original 68 valve cover this weekend to be sure. Why would the clip be on the 68's if it wasn't used till 69. It makes no sence.

I have a set that I believe is original to 68 Chevelle and the driver's side valve cover is the same as 69, except, the wire clip for the temp sending unit is not there. If you want to send me an email as a reminder, I can get you a picture tomorrow.

Woj...I'd like to see that pic. I couldn't find your email. I now know the temp wire clip shouldn't be on the left side 68 Chevelle valve cover. I'm wondering if the back of the left cover should be as slanted, like the Crane covers I've seen for 69's....

Just looked close at the pics I have of my old Gibb Nova. I am wrong they have the clip on the pass side valve cover. My cover is the same as your pic of your 68 camaro same dimple and clip. Kim

This cover isn't for my 68,it's just to show the dimple. mine doesn't have the clip.
