72 vs. 74 valve covers

Princess Valiant · Jun 22, 2022

Does anyone have pics of known 72 318 valve covers.

These came from a 74 valiant with a 318 and I'm not sure how close or different they are from the 72 318 version.

Look about the same to me.

75 or 76 they started mounting vac solenoids to them.. aka there are some extra tabs for that.

You're probably right.
Now that I think about it ..I never landed what year that initiated. Assumed 80's as all my 84 and up stuff have the bulge top covers..but yeah probably in the late seventies.

Look about the same to me. 75 360 had the other brackets. I can get pics if needed if the 75s. Kim

These are all the pics I have of mine before I cut all the bracket stuff off them.

The only difference that I can see is that the wire holder straps appear to be a little wider. Otherwise, they look the same as my '72's.

Do they fit the heads? Then put um on. What the heck difference does it make?
