Hi!
got these two valve covers for my charger 69 rt, is it 68 or 69 ?
Look at the removed bracket on the middle on right one.
possible to make them look like 69 440 magnum?

Bob, from the looks of it, you have a mismatched pair. The right one is a 68 big block valve cover that someone cut the tab off that used to hold the heater hose retainer.  The one on the left may possibly be a 70 or newer big block valve cover.  In 68 and 69, they had a push on breather that slid over a tube extension from the valve cover.   I think in 70 and up, they had a breather that pushed into a rubber grommet on the valve cover.  Hope this helps.

Amazing that you were able to find a battleship mooring ring that just happened to fit a four barrel intake manifold :2thumbs:
