I just picked these up for $30 CAD. Seller thought they were off his old 1970 340 Swinger. If not, can you ID these based on the wire looms, oil cap, etc.

Thanks for your time.

They look a lot like a 1972 318 I had. Notice they are blue under the orange.

definitely 1970 or newer based on the twist on oil cap and no pipe for breather cap.

1970-71 340 has a tall loom bracket on left rear, and a wide rubber covered wire harness holder on the center of the right one for the heat crossover protection.
see yellow rectangle for missing loom position. I have them labeled which side and front/rear.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
 
They look identical to a set 1971 318 valve covers I sold here.
 
Looks like my set of '74 318 covers. Looks like the factory blue under the orange that would've been on them too
 
70 would have the 4 plug wire loom on top on both valve covers and a 2 plug wire loom on the side on both. I don't recognize the one labeled RF with both plug wire loom tabs on the side
