I could never get the stock valve cover to stop leaking, came across a chrome replacement at a mopar meet and picked it up (used $10). It has no baffles and the grommets do not match up with those from my 72. I'm guessing I have an older design, does anybody know where to get the propper grommets and breather? Thanks!

Check the items for sale page under "If you just have to have a chrome valve cover" thread I posted the part numbers for the gromets that I am using let me know if you have any questions.
Have a Great Day,
Jim

Oops…no, you have an inferior Chinese design, much harder to make work and seal satisfactorily. At least you didn't pay much for it! A factory stock valve cover in good condition is much better.

See Thread 1 Thread 2 Thread 3. If you are bound and determined to put this low-quality piece of junk on your engine, and if you can hack the bolt holes so they line up, then set up the breather and PCV this way.

Thanks guys, ended up putting on for now just to stop the oil leak, local auto parts store had the Mr Gasket grommets and they work fine. Will begin the search for a OEM valve cover.
