Technical Hemi Valve Covers

I have a 330 Hemi and I’d like to find set of valve covers to off to be chromed. Can anyone tell me which early me I cover interchange with the 330?

 

????? I guess I don't understand what you are asking. Do You?

 

A 330 is a Desoto, is that what you have? I have a spare set of stock steel covers without plug covers.
If you have a 331, it is a Chrysler.

 

7 posts since 2009, see if he actually comes back to clarify his ?.

Man, you need to lighten up. I’ve been the hobby for 50 years, mostly dealing with Mopars. I’ve recently made a switch over to rods. Yes, just a few posts however the cars I was into were not conducive to this forum.

 

Yes, it’s a Desoto Hemi. I’m looking for a spare set to have chromed. I was thinking that other covers such as Dodge or Chrysler would work.

 

The simple answer is NO. Chrysler, DeSoto, and Dodge are all different. I do believe that ALL DeSoto covers (276-341) will probably fit.

 

All Dodges fit all Dodges, all Desotos fit all Desotos, and all Chryslers fit all Chryslers. They don't interchange between makes. Really strange when you look at today's corporate engines that are totally interchangeable.

It seems to me that he didn’t edit what his pc/phone wrote....which early me surely was meant to be which early hemi.

 

Thanks guys, that answered my question. I’ll keep looking. The covers on the motor are good for now. With Good Guys coming up here in Phoenix I’m sure Ill find a pair

 

Watch good old ebaY. That's where I usually find all my treasures.

 

Finding a set that are good enough to chrome might be an issue. I think by the time they polished the ugly out of mine there wouldn't be anything left. The weren't all that great when I got the engine back in the 80's.

 

LOL, know the feeling

 

I think I may have a set, have to go look after the snow stops.

 

Man, that sure would be great, thanks.

 

Yup! they come unmarked/plain from the factory. The ID, Firedome or Fireflite are on the wire covers. If you want them they are specific to each side.

 

Yeah, I have the wire covers but not using them at this time. Using spark plug hole covers

 

Just read from the beginning. Dart: if you would have said Desoto in the title it, replies are easier. It’s like titling y-block and everyone replies with 239-312 info and the writer wants early Lincolns and 57-up Mercs.
I assumed you meant 331 Chrysler’s too.
Hope find what you need..

 

so...you asssumed a typo...

 

Hit this guy up to see if he knows which "D" hemi these are for. Maybe you could send him some measurements to make sure they will fit your Desoto.

@dart4forty. Pics of what I have, only one wire cover.

 

Who says responding to an old thread is of no value to anyone but the OP!

 

How come everyone that has wire covers for DeSotos (Fire Dome AND Fire Flite) always has only lefts?
The right sides must be somewhere...

 

I have both of mine. Not for sale though.

What old post. Dart posted this request last Saturday.

I misread someones' previous comment about the (OP not returning ,happens a lot).
I've pointed out before that when someone digs up an old thread, whether a current member or someone that just stumbles onto the HAMB searching the internet, it brings to light subject matter that still can be relevant.
