C2 valve covers

[Verle R.]

I have two sets of steel valve covers for 327s that I have had forever.
Both have the rectangle in the middle for the HP sticker.
One set has a triangle at each end of the rectangle, the other just drops off.

What years were each design used?

Thank you,

Verle

Re: C2 valve covers

The one without the 'triangle' at the end of the label insert box is the early style valve cover used on 327 in 1962 and '63. The other is a later stamping from '64 and later.

Actually the later 63's through 66 used the triangle.

Jack,

The JG sides with Bob on this one with the change from drop off style to the deep triangle at approximately VIN 13000 in 63 model year.

I'd say the folks in Hadies are gettin' a bit chilled tonight. First Duke missed one above on 202 valve and now you.....

You guys seldom miss,

Carelessness...

I didn't bother to cover the late '63 running change issue because that's dealt with in the JG books and, in my humble opinion, anyone posting a question ought to have purchased and read the 'book' in the first place. The big picture was what I was trying to convey (low profile plate = early 62/63)... But, thanks to others for dotting the i and crossing the t on this one!
