Factory BB valve cover?
Does anyone recognize this DS BBC valve cover with the booster dimple?
It looks like a factory cover, but I don't recall ever seeing any Corvette or Camaro that needed that clearance.

1967 Chevelle used a dimple because the brake booster was increased from 9" in '66 to 11" in '67, BUT, that looks much bigger than factory ??

I know a 67 Corvette with PB had a dimple. That is what it looks like to me in the picture.

Likely a reproduction, because the rear plug wire stand is straight. Originals have a dog-leg in the rear plug wire stand on that side (which you can see in Bill's picture and the Ebay pictures you linked). Crane repros have the dog-leg, but all other repros do not.
