So I found that my rockers are hitting the valve covers even though I was told by a mustang shop they would clear. I saw some tall one I like but said they were for carb. I was wondering what the difference between the carb valve covers and the efi ones.

From what I can tell is that the cover on the drivers side needs to be sealed and the one on the passenger side needs covered with a vacuum line going to the throttle body. Is this correct?

Just put an extra gasket on the valve covers. Depending on the rockers you have you still may have to do some grinding to make it fit.
