pull of the oil fil cap narrow-lip "early" or wide-lip "late" I'll see what I have - what's wrong with yours?

Ok, will do.
Mine was leaking oil and I found a bunch of splits/cracks in the metal along the sides near the bolt holes. I'm seeing if a replacement can be found instead of trying to weld that thin metal. It was tightened down to much and caused the split holes. It looks like a 1970 Valve cover to me, but to be 100% you must take off oil cap like Dan said. Bob

It looks like I need a new valve cover for my 1971 Roadrunner 383. I have the original factory covers.
Does anyone know what other years/engines used the same valve cover? I've never had to replace a factory valve cover and have no idea which ones to look for. Thanks. Buy a NEW set from AMD...

Ask me how I know. Don't do that if you want them to fit. Holes are wrong, crease on top in stamping, oil cap is not clocked correct and does not fit tight. Bob

That looks like a 1970 to early 71. Late 71 has a larger raised circle. Bob

& if you notice the AMD RH valve cover doesn't have the same "divot" on the front of the passenger side

Dan, I think what AMD did was make a 70 only and a late 71 only The late 70 early 71 may have changed and they maybe did not make that one. See my picture of the stamping crease. Bob

Yes, just looks a little different. Most at a local show will not notice.
