The drivers side is incorrect. The plug wire stand should be locate before the third upper bolt (intake side).

In addition to what Steve said, the angle on the bottom edge of that driver's side cover would not be there on the correct covers... and there would be a small "bump" along the back edge, towards the top, that aims back towards the firewall. I thought I had a pic of a correct pair of them, but I can't find it. If all else fails, Crane Corvettes makes a pretty nice repro set. A little "too nice" to look original, but the wire stands and stampings are correct.

I am pretty sure that the Chevelle plug wire stand on the driver side is to the rear, not in front like a Camaro or Nova. Brandon is correct about the rear angle, but you also need the small rubber coated tab to support the temperature sending wire located on the lower side of the cover...BKH

I did realize that the temp sender tab was missing...oh well the price was right but if they are not correct they are not correct...the search continues. Thanks guys

My understanding is chevelle's had the wire stand behind and nova and camaro in front of last bolt. This was done for the wiper motor clearance issues.
