i'm almost 100% that mopar never put chrome valve covers on any motor from the factory. maybe someone knows better...

but i think they should be engine color (engines were painted as whole assemblies)

My 1984 Omni GLH came from the factory with a "chrome valve cover". As did all carburated 83 1/2 through 86 hi-performance 2.2 motors.

I was thinking that the '64 Plymouth 426 street wedges came with a chrome air cleaner and chrome valve covers from the factory.

67 GTXs and 67 R/Ts had chrome valve covers from the factory. If i remember correctly they did not show up again on a factory car (truck) until 1978 on the Little Reds.

My buddy had a 67 Formula S 383 Barracuda back in the 80's and it had the chrome valve covers.

Hey 696pack, were they standard or optional as an engine dress up package?
I have seen them numerous times and knew that they were originals.

I have seen the 67 GTX 440 and Dodge R/T with OE chrome valve covers that were new at the time of the car's production.

You guys need to spend a little more time on the library of the web site I posted above.

Start with YOUR model year car's factory date book, color and upholstery book and you will know what was standard and what was optional for each particular model for that year.
