WIll these valve covers fit?

I was wondering if these mopar small block valve covers will go on my 85 Chrysler 5th avenue. I am going to replace the gasket anyway and just wanted to see if these will go in with no modification. On the original ones there is two holes on the passenger side and I think only one on the drivers side so thats what I am concerned about, because these both have two holes...heres the link.

If you have the big brake booster in your car they may be close on that side.

If you have a small block LA motor they will fit all have three bolts on the exhaust side and two on the intake side You may not be seeing them but they are there. Later Magnum are different
Make sure you have the internal baffle over the PVC valve

O yea and a suggestion that bolt under the booster is very very hard to reach, install a stud on that hole it will help!

no its not you can easily reach it with a wrench. A stud wont make a difference.

Not sure why you would want to put these on a 5th ave though.

you cant easily accsess it on my 5th a stud-bolt for my set up is easier but still a tough thread to start.
as far as a set of valve covers in a 5th ave well... they are more for the motor and the motor... well you may laugh at the old mans car at the light but not at the next one, you may be looking down adjusting your radio.

of course my car's exterior is old much too do on her yet, but a restoration in progress.
My brother deliberately kept his 440 earth quake dart looking ratty just to **** of the smart azz in his 500$- 1000$ a month "modern super car"!
And let me tell you we had some doozies!
