People put different valve covers on strictly for looks 99% of the time.

1964 GTO heads would be unlikely candidates for screw-in studs, roller rockers and a stud girdle thereby requiring tall valve covers at least in my mind.

I have roller rockers and screw-in studs on my 1964 GTO heads with stock valve covers and a slightly thicker 5/16” gasket and that’s it. The vast majority of 1964 GTOs have just the original press-in rocker studs and original stamped steel 1.5:1 rockers you can bet.
