Don't think any 71 through 76 Pontiac engines came with chrome valve covers from the factory, 4 bbl or otherwise. They returned with the 77'-79' "TA 6.6" engine option in 1977 -79

No on the 68' Firebird application. Those are later chrome valve covers with the drip rails inside, which the early ones didn't have. I would say those are 77-79' valve covers

On a 4 speed car the bellhousing needs to be trimmed on the passenger side to get an oil filter in. No big deal and can be done in 10 minutes with a saw saw.

It's kinda hard to see for me. Was it making any kind of noise? When you say bearing retainer, are you referring to the clutch fork and throwout bearing?
