440 Valve Cover Stud Location

[70challengersix]

I received a "correct" engine fastener kit for my 440 six pack engine.  When I opened the valve cover bolt package a discovered that there were a some bolts and a couple of "studs" with nuts.  I suspect that these were used in the factory for maybe valve cover alignment - not sure.  Does anyone know why these studs were used, and what "position" or "location" are they used at on each valve cover??

the studs were used in the 2 lower corners

Alignment of cover for ease of assembly at the factory would be my guess.

Thanks Chryco -

I assume that they are the "forward" lower corners - is that correct?

4 studs front & rear of both heads , I would use them in the rear if you only have 2 studs

Thanks Chryco - I'll put them in before I have my Turkey.
