Can somebody identify the application for these? They have drippers.

On the left side or drivers side are there 2 wire clips on top, I cannot see in the pic? It looks like 69 Chevelle but it is missing the sending unit wire clip on the bottom. The pass side is 69 from the position of the short plug wire stand in line with the breather hole

Unless it has the clips on the intake side of the drivers cover for the sending unit going to the intake and assuming the harness was similar as Camaro for the sending unit these would be for a 68 Chevelle as the sending unit wire ran with the alt wiring.

I would say they came off a 1967 or earlier since it has a breather cap instead of a vent tube to the air cleaner. The breather cap looks to be original.

Also -- there is not &quot;dent&quot; in the rear drivers side to clear the booster? ... but I think that came much later ... TAZ

that is not a 67 valve cover with that breather cap, the short wire stand is in line with the breather. 67 covers had the short wire stand in between the breather and the oil fill hole
