"Twin" Small Block Valve Covers

[dibbons]

The 340 I purchased that has a bunch of parts from different years has "matching" valve covers. They both have the factory clips for tying down the passenger side wiring harness, but one accommodates a PCV valve and the other a crankcase breather. Weird.

A great set of valve covers..........it's hard to beat the factory lay out of the wires.......out of the way, they don't get burnt.

Those seem the same as my 69 318 valve covers. Other side is the push on breather.

You mean your push on breather valve cover (driver side) has provision for tying down a wiring harness like on the passenger side valve cover?

Yup, I will take a picture of them when I get home, since they are now off the engine.

Looks the same to me.

I just went and unburied my bone stock 69 318 out of my 69 B-Cuda,, and my valve covers only have the Wire hold downs on the pass side, along with the PCV valve. the left has no wire hold downs, it has the breather, tho.
My curriosty was activated by this thread.

Seems like the front loom on the driver side would get caught in the throttle linkage

This is an aussie 69 set, we only have loom clips on one side, interesting!

From out of the past. This is what a junkyard 71 Duster/Demon engine looked like when swapped into my old 70 RR somewhere way back then, about 73 or so. I STILL HAVE THE J HEADS!!!
