[Healeys] unknown valve cover

Thanks. Yes I guess MG is too long. Maybe 1500 Midget?

Ken--
Wish I had seen your post earlier when I was over at my shop.  I have an Elva Courier which has an MGA engine and could have measured for you (MGA's and B's heads are the same size).
I did find this online at the MG Experience where someone was asking the same question in similar circumstances:
Center to center on the holes 11" 4 3/4" wide at base 14 7/8" long at base 3 1/2" high at center add 3/4" for filler neck 
I thought that 12-3/4 seemed a bit small.  Perhaps it is for a Triumph Spitfire or the like.

I got one of the finned coffin style valve covers at the swap meet like used on the Hollywood Sport Car racer. The seller said it was for a Sprite so I thought cool, I can get it for my sister to match mine on the 3000. Well it doesn't fit a Sprite valve cover gasket so I suspect it might be for a MGB. Its outside dimensions are 4 x 12 3/4 inches. Any ideas?

Thanks,
