They do not have the correct 2-bolts in the middle-top valve covers. If you want to ID your engine, post the codes that are on the engine in question. Tim 1954Advance-Design.com 1954 3106 Carryall Suburban 1954 3104 5-window pickup w/Hydra-Matic The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
