I just won these valve covers on ebay for my 440.
I was wondering if these are old direct connection units, if so about how old?
Are they rare? They seem uncommon at least.

I remember those back in the day, and I believe they were Direct Connection pieces, circa mid-80's.

I have a set of blue ones just like them. They got scratched up over the years so I painted them Hemi orange. they look good on my 440. I think they were from the mid 90s. not sure of the brand.

Not bad for $50...

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm happy with the buy, I was going to get the mopar performance covers from jegs but you see a lot of guys run those and they cost about twice what I paid for these.
I figure these are a bit of a throwback and I also have blue wires/cap so they will match up nicely.

I never thought stamped aluminum was a wise choice for valve cover material; the steel ones warp and leak enough as is.
