I see alot of advertising for '66 396/360 and 375hp valve covers. Also, general '64-67 (one size fits all) but not '66 396/325hp alone. What is the difference? The only thing I can determine is the 325hp did not have dippers. Is this correct? Where can I find 325hp type? This car also has power brakes. THANKS to anyone who can help!

The should be no difference. I had an L34 with stock chrome covers. It had push rod guides, roller tip rockers, etc. They work fine. If your motor has true roller rockers, with the high adjusting studs, you will need a taller valve cover.

No real difference, other than 67 valve cover on rear driver's side had larger indentation for larger power brake booster used in 67. Both years used oil drippers.
