Brent,
I looked at Kim's picture and you guy's are correct, I do see that now. But I was looking at some pictures I have of my motor during the restoration and I bought a cheap set of after market valve covers and the bracket is in the back. I don't have no issues with it hitting the booster. If it was farther forward wouldn't it hit the linkage for the carb. I can move the bracket to the correct spot before rechroming does anyone have any clear pictures? Brent can you take one for me?

This is the motor in the car now. I am doing an engine swap in the next couple of week's. I am putting a date coded L78 in it's place.

Well after looking at some pictures of the Gibb nova's, I figured out where the Spark plug wires get routed. Since I don't have any money in the valve covers, I have decided to move the bracket! They are just off a spare motor that I have. The valve covers are in real nice shape with no ding's or damage. They will look great when re-chromed. Thank you guy's for seeing the bracket was in the wrong location. I think Williamsboy told me that last week but I didn't notice any thing different until you guy's pointed it out! You guy's are the best the next one is on me

Yes Brent I know I am missing the drippers but it will leave clearance for what is under the valve covers????
