I think '70 and '71 are the same.

Anyone have any real good detailed pics of what they look like? What's diff. about them? tabs for wireloom? holes for breather/PCV?

70 and 71 are different.

70 uses its own DS cover PS are the same.

cover tabs depend on what your using it in. HP vs non HP and body style.

70.

Okay, so a '71 383 HP car ('cuda) built on 10-70 would have 1970-style covers or the later, dual-domed covers?

Do the non-HP covers has these tabs on the driver's side?

I picked these up last week at a swap meet for fairly cheap.

Anyone have a suggestion how to remove them w/o totally hacking them up?

If that cover was installed on a C barge with an HP 383 OR 440 engine it would have those tabs because of the manifold design , it's technically an HP cover.

They are EASY to remove , a dremel with a grinding stone and PATIENCE , then lightly sandblast the area
