Absolutely no difference in the ones I've seen.

Why should there be?  All the small block valve covers are the same for the same year.
Maybe the wire loom tab changed somewhere along the line but I don't know.

Here is Rare_T/A  engine.........I always thought that the plug wires on the t/a were routed more to the rear but in this pic they do not appear to be any different than my '73s

The Wire Loom is WAAAAAAY back on the T/A valve cover.  about 3/4 to 1 inch further back...the arrows in the pic show the difference
