Sorry, I checked it out on Google. They are the valve stem caps that go between the valve and rocker arm.
I guess I am just dumb.

I have a 1972 manual. The valve stem diameter on 302s is .3416-.3423 for intakes and .3411-.3418 for exhausts, standard diameter valves. You can get the caps from this data.
