These were a set I bought back in the day. 1 cover has the high center and the other cover is not that high like you show. The rubber gaskets were inside the cover. Looking to get $200 plus the shipping. Lower cover center is not as high as the other 1.

Correct....the DC chrome versions that look stock never had wire loom brackets or tabs for a cleaner look.

i think these are what he is looking for. man used to be able to buy them for 50 bucks new. infact the valve covers on our dart are these chrome valve covers scuffed and painted orange. lol. now the damn things are close to 300 bucks. if you ever stumble on them for under 200 bucks grab them.

If anyone has 2 NOS Drivers side DC chrome valve covers they want to sell, please send me a PM and it will help both @Bossfornova and myself. I have an NOS set that had 2 passenger side valve covers in the box when I opened it a while back, after having it for years! 
Slim chance it could work out but will be nice if it could! I will PM the OP to discuss.

They are getting pretty tough to find and when you do they’re usually pretty spendy. One option to consider is find a nice set of original painted ones, you can remove the wire loom brackets, smoothen them out and get them chrome plated, might even be cheaper. Plus, the chrome plating on the old direct connection stuff was not all that great, getting a set chrome plated, they may actually be even nicer than NOS ones.

Yes, those are the ones I was looking to locate.
I bought those covers back in 78 when I had my 71 340 Duster. Back then nobody gave a s__t what they came from as long as they were chrome. Now everybody is so freaking fussy it's a whole different venue. It's good that some people know what things are used for. I guess a lot of stuff back then was surplus Chrysler had that they wanted to dump and some mail order houses bought it from Chrysler and sold it to unsuspecting customers. Although The time period I bought them is when the Lil red express was out. They would have been right at home in a factory car because my original covers off the motor have the wire looms. I'm looking for $200 plus shipping.
Is there a first and second generation of the DC ones? I have a set of something in the attic and IIRC there was a chrome air filter housing as well up there.
Leave a couple of your un-used conversations (Clear in box). Non-gold members only have 5.
