327 Valve Covers - "o" stamp

[7TL34]

Not too knowledgeable on these, maybe someone can help. I have a set of SBC valve covers, plain steel, with the indented V running lengthwise, & the rectangular pad in the middle. They also have two wire clips on one cover, & the "O" stamp on the flanges. I know they are mid '60s 327, and have heard about the "O" on chrome ones. Can anyone tell me of their various applications? Thanks,- Dale.

Are they plain, have a raised area for a sticker, or have Chevrolet script?

They have the raised pad in the centre for a sticker.

They are 1965-1966 valve covers for L79 327 equipped Chevelle and Nova.

Thanks everyone for all your help. One more question,- did some L79 cars have chrome covers, and some have painted ones? - Dale

FWIW, all the SB covers in 68, chrome or painted, carried the O stamp. Just a bit easier to see on the chrome ones.

Can you post a pic of the center of one of them where the sticker pad is?
