If you're using the car at all I'd recommend sorting this problem out sooner rather than later. I'd want to be able to at least check over the external bits of the engine - fuel hoses/pipes, fan belt, filters, wiring, etc - you need to consider the worst case scenario such as if something caught on ...

Or alternatively - has it got a plastic engine lid grille ?

If so, I would cut that out & put my hand down through the opening...

Secondhand plastic grilles can be had for ~ £50.

The best solution to this problem is usually to use Turbo valve covers as they have additional stiffening ribs. However if your car still has the original '67 engine with it's sandcast valve covers you can't replace the lower ones with the Turbo versions as these earlier engines used only 6 studs to...
