    Blocker... This is the configuration of those tappet covers. The oil filler is on the passanger side.

    This is a picture of a HJ engine bay with the filler on the drivers side.

    This is a HQ 74 engine bay.

    I have the ones like yours as well on my HQ. Which ones were used in what configuration?

    Top two are wrong for HJ. Bottom one shows PCV and breather in corect locations. Middle one has the right rocker covers.

    This is a 1974 HJ engine bay so no canister. Obviously the air cleaner and carb are wrong, and the heater hose is pulled back onto the inner guard as the switch was leaking. Rest is pretty much right.

    If anyone has a mint choke air pipe with heatproof wrapping attached let me know if you want to part with it. Mine is there but it has been bent to suit the Holley and when I bend it back for the Quaddy it may break. You can see the pipe in Mauser's second photo.
