You're right, the 62 Nova didn't have a 261. It would have had either a 4 banger or a 194, the later series block, which was much shorter and narrower. The 194 would have had different mounts, too. Is the valve cover straight down both sides except for the mounting bolts (4 total on the 235/261) or does it have a series of dents between each cylinder in the driver's side (newer 194/250/292)?
