Big Block Valve Cover ID

[matthon]

Need help identifying the year/make/model.

First set, both have plug wire brackets on top/back and inner/side, with heater hose bracket on one.

Second set, one has plug wire brackets on the back/side and the middle/side, only, and has the heater hose bracket.

The other has no plug wire brackets, no brackets at all.

Neither has the heater hose bracket.

#1-2 1967 440 magnum GTX type

#3 1969 440 HP b-body

#1 is definitely 67 440 GTX
#2 looks 67 GTX, but could possibly be 68 A body.
#3 I have to agree with @R413

#1 I believe it is 67-69 a-body. The plug wire brackets on the top/back are to bring the wire over the cover as it cannot fit behind it.

Thought it was also GTX, not sure.

I found a video of a 'survivor' 67 GTX, they barely show the engine, you can just barely see the plug wire bracket on the top/back of the driver side cover with the wire not in it going around the cover.

2 & 3 not sure.

1967 GTX and R/T. Standard equipment on 440 Super Commando and Magnum. One year only, as 1968 went to painted valve covers. I have a 1967 R/T.

my 68 GTX had chrome covers on it when I bought it in 85, I assumed original; but cannot verify, maybe not?........build date 10/24........I'll get a pic

67 GTX match set #1 exactly.

Are the rear wire brackets on the top or side?

Passenger can't tell, driver too fuzzy.

67 and 68 big block a-body cars came with "Chrome-plated cylinder head covers, oil filler cap and crankcase vent cap."

69 did not, no mention of them anyway.
