1970 or newer. What is under that chrome cap?

'70-1 would be my guess.

Is that 318, 340 or 360?

Good question....I think it depends on what vehicle it came on. IIRC, some of the spark plug brackets got moved around between some of the car models and also truck/van models. You'll probably need to find someone with a known virgin engine to compare yours to.

The original valve covers in my 1965 Dart 273 GT have a metal PCV valve which slides over a stovepipe stub on the valve covers. Same in my 1965 Chrysler 383. The PCV sits in a metal can which slides over the stovepipe, secured with a nut on its threaded body.
