All 1970 A-body 455 valve covers are the same. And everyone please repeat after me:

The notches go towards the BACK of the engine!

Tell me about it Joe. That makes me NUTS when I see them on backwards like that.

Joe & Randy, I can't count how many times I've seen pictures of restored cars with the notched covers on the wrong way
