Are these stock 68 340 valve covers? I know what the 69 70 looks like,68 69 70 are are different correct? If not could someone post pictures of correct 68 ones Thanks !
Those are correct 68 340 valve covers.Hey, I have some known 68 covers out in the garage. I will get some pics for comparison.
So after looking at these im kind doubting they are correct 68 340 covers. They came with a 68 340 I bought many years ago. The wire retainers kinda remind me of the ones on a 273.

Thanks for showing these! I have heard a couple different stories on these 340 covers.I see your covers have the bracket on the inside of the passenger cover that protects the wire loom from the heat of the intake, Because the 340 intakes were higher then the 273 318. Was told that the 68 69 70 340 covers all had this bracket.So these I have are not 340.Interested in selling them? PM me Thanks.Hey, I have some known 68 covers out in the garage.

Also whats confusing is your covers don't have the extended spark plug wire bracket on the rear drive side to keep wires off the HP exhaust manifold?Thanks for showing these!

Where did you find this bracket?This bracket was used on the 68 340’s and bolted to the rear of the driver side valve cover to hold the spark plug wires. View attachment 1715522672
