Who was making ignition insulators on valve covers on my 1968 340. Originals were 7mm and he was making 8mm size. If not available where can I buy stock ones? Sorry probably wrong part name lol.

If you get stock ones, install them in a valve cover (preferably off the car) to hold them in place and drill them out a bit...

Thanks for the responses. I'm hoping the person that was making the 8mm ones on his 3D printer might chime in.
@Dana67Dart , @66Dvert I believe have 3d printers
It's like the suppliers don't stock them any more. In years past they had white ones and yellowed ones that looked aged. I see the 2 wire 67 and newer Ines are out there.
I can make a keeper to your specs.
What I don't know is if my materials will hold up under hood.
Happy to give it a try.
FYI
At least on 67
The passenger side uses the 2 wire keepers and the driver's side used the individual ones on the wires

Are you talking 2 barrel?
I have 4 barrel and both are identical to each other.
PS, I can send a pr of oem ones to you, just send back when done

Good catch, yep 2bbl.
If the OP wants me to make some I'll hit you up.
I have the ones from my 67 2bbl if they are the same.
I did this, by stepping up to the right size drill bit, then using a little round file to make it smooth.
Found them! Laysons has them. Sets available as well. WO-AX005 for the singles.

These fit perfect. Just $10 for 4 even though it say's for Big Block.
Those look identical to the factory ones on my 67 dart 273.
Interestingly the driver's side originally had separate round insulators that were never painted.
The dual type on the passenger side were painted.
Not sure the reason the factory did this.

I would say if your car has one of each type, then the valve covers arent a matched set. I don't believe either type.of insulator will fit on either type of valve cover. Insulators are VC specific.

I bought these covers a year ago and they were advertised as 1968 340 covers. Are they? I don't know for sure but was looking for the correct look even though I have Eddy heads and Airgap intake. The covers had 2 painted Seperators that I replaced with the 4 new ones. I might buy another set to see if I can drill them out for 8mm wires.
These are all factory, no way my dad would have changed anything.
It had the original top in the car when I got it!
The single round insulators fit into the round openings of the rectangular tabs on the valve covers
The wire loom attachments on the covers changed through the years but I could not tell you what a 68 should look like.
I can get you photos of my 67s
67 pass side
Forward wire loom
Rearward wire loom
Driver's side no wire loom
OEM factory installed pass side wire retainer painted with the engine
I changed out my 4 round unpainted wire insulators on the driver's side.

I think (think) the Charger/ Commando covers use the same looms as the regular covers for the same years. Photo #3 is the 67 covers that use the dual wire loom. Note the small hole in the bracket between the plug wire openings.

Charger/Commando valve covers.
Here's the difference in the covers. 1965 dual stovepipes for oil fill cap and pcv, individual spark plug wire insulators, wiring tabs for the passenger cover. 1966 dual stovepipes for oil fill cap and pcv, individual spark plug wire insulators, wiring tabs for the passenger cover, heavy center...

I don't know who's photo this is but the round ones on the driver's side is what I'm talking about.
On my car the driver's side were not painted.
The pass side were painted.
Kind of makes me think that the factory did this to assist with plug wire install, round on the wires go to driver's side.

If you're saying yours are factory with 2 different insulators, then the "line person" was drunk which is quite possible, or they ran out of matched sets.
That would be mine. It's a 66 with the original covers and insulators.
