Need to verify 440-6 valve covers

Do any of you guys have pictures of correct 70 year 440 6-pack valve covers handy? Thanks.

I'm always reluctant to believe what people claim on ebay. I can't make out the locations of the wiring tabs, but other than that do they appear correct?

The ones that are on e-bay look right to me.  I do not remember anything real special about them when I had mine.   
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Here are some pictures of a 70 six pack Roadrunner you may be able to see what you need.

Those are correct for 6pk, 383, and 440 mag/hp in 1970.  69 are different and so is 71.   Drew took my 71 covers and gave me 70 covers---bless his heart :2thumbs:

Not true Al, my 71 is an early build and it was built with 70 covers.
Here is a picture of my 71 GTX with 70 covers and my 71 Charger R/T (sold it) with 71 covers, the X was built 9/27 and the R/T was built in December.

well, I stand corrected, but the norm is as quoted. But spares on the shelf from left overs is always a possibility.
