1961 Base motor valve covers

[David H.]

Anyone happen to have a good picture of the correct valve covers for this application. My buddy is trying to buy some off ebay and I dont know if they are the correct ones. They are suppose to be the square ones I think.
Thanks.

Thanks John I did see that but it seems to me that I have read somewhere that the correct covers are more squareish. Like the attached picture that I got from Jerry.
Are these not correct for the '61 base 230hp motor?

JG says '61 has painted steel with Chevrolet in script and 230 decal on both covers. Pic attached.
