Valve cover question

When did Chevy stop the push in rubber oil cap and start the twist on style?

Also I am trying to figure out what the differences are in the valve covers between 67 and 72.

Thank you in advance for the information.

I don't believe I ever saw a push on rubber style on the older chevies. IIRC they all had the twist type. The push on are used on aftermarket valve covers.
