Default Identifying Big Block Valve Covers

Does anybody know if there is a website that shows the applications of different BBC valve covers? I have a bunch of old chrome dripper valve covers and would like to ID them. Crane Corvettes used to have pictures of many of them but the pictures have been pulled. I plan to sell the covers and do not want to misrepresent them.


Thanks,

Jason

Many of Crane's valve cover auctions have a single picture that should get me started.


Thanks,

Jason, the third one from the bottom on the right side sure looks like a 69 Driver's side for Chevelles. It seems to have the correct slant at the back. Does that one have a little wire clip near the middle on the lower side facing what would be the driver's fender?

Top pair, left, might be 67-69 Camaro, 68-69 Nova. Any wire clips? and need an image of the end nearest the firewall of the one on top.

Top pair, right, second down looks like it might be 69 Camaro/Nova. It has the wire clip on the driver's side lower edge. Is that all the clips? Need a better image of the end nearest the firewall.

I will snap some pictures tomorrow while cleaning them. Dan, not showing off, I just don't like to be an ignorant seller. Also, if a member needs a pair I would like to give them first shot. I know you were just poking fun.

No, these covers came out of a large buy out in Northern California. Unfortunately, I have not been to Pomona or Long Beach for quite sometime.

OK, I gave the covers a quick cleaning and took some pictures. I tried my best to pair the covers up properly. These covers were boxed all together so I was not sure which went with eachother. I was able to pair a few from gaskets, etc. I really just used my best judgement on the rest. Pictures coming.
