Aluminum valve cover issue

I’m not sure J par when the “direct connection” logo came out. My memory says that was a late 70’s early 80’s program.
The car is a 66’ so I’m sticking with a later 60’s theme like if the car was built up say circa 1970. The blue is just because the car is silver and red. A red engine was too much red and the engine I built was a 74’- 318. - keeping period correct to that time frame. A lot changed in the automotive word mid 70’s. Again not an exact science but when I open the hood she got that early 70’s vibe.

I was almost positive it was round 63 64 when direct connection was introduced and I went ahead and Googled it before I made my comment so I wouldn't be giving incorrect information. So with that said from about 64 to 86 if your car was to have aluminum aftermarket Factory valve covers It should have been direct connection? I noticed a lot of people using Mopar performance on their 70s muscle cars and to me this just seems incorrect. And even more deceiving Mopar made them in the fashion of those Mickey Thompson valve covers that you have. Like you said I like what I like and I'm the same way too and I would have those Mickey Thompson valve covers (again because I personally like them) long before the Mopar performance of past 1986 version...
Mine is a 73 and I would like to think it's being customized if it was 1978 or so. Kind of disco era restoration is what I'm going for.. lots'a old school stuff... And some funky...

so far I've been able to get the direct connection valve covers the direct connection dual quad air filters with thoese beautiful pentastar hold downs they come with which I personally have never seen before. I'm scared to leave my car anywhere or someone could grab one and I just don't know how I can replace it. (Which is the beginnings of my next thread who has these? And how would I replace them?) Also I was able to get a direct connection distributor hold down which just looks like a cheap Chrome hold down but it came in its original package like the valve covers and the air filters.
These are the things that make a car show interesting though because you have the things that you liked that appeal to you and I have the things that I like that appeal to me and we both appreciate each other's take on how we like things..
