Question 1952 215 cid valve cover

I would like to throw a chrome valve cover on my 215, but it seems all that are available are for the 223's. Are they the same valve cover? Mine does have the oil filler hole in the front.

Oops... I mistyped and posted too fast... does the 229 valve cover fit a 215?

You had it right the first time, 215 & 223. According to FelPro they use the same gasket from '51 - '59. I'm away from the computer I have my parts and service books in so this is the best I can do at the moment.
