I do not think Impalas and bigger cars had chrome valve covers

Thanks for the ideas guys. So 69 low horse big cars came with non dripper covers? Truck is also a possibility except I do not think the driver's cover would need the brake detent.

I think I see clips on the inside of the drivers side cover for the temp sender wire??? If so 66-67 396 fullsize valve covers.

Yes, the driver's cover has clips.

THANKS!

If only they had drippers, I need a set just like that but with drippers.

Bummer. Just put a couple eraser marks in the primer before painting them to simulate the spotwelds. Then you can run roller rockers with the correct look.

I parted out an all original big block 1969 Caprice years
ago. It had these identical valve covers right down to the
non-drippers provision.
