Default valve cover bolts help

Hey everyone,i just got my rebuilt motor together except the freakin valve covers. The reason why there not on yet is because i dont know where the bolts go some have studs and some dont i was wondering if anyone had a diagram or any pics of the bolts so i can finally finish my motor and get it in.Its a 97 1500 with a 360 in it.

Thanks,
Matt.

Do not tighten them all the way until you run the plug wires and harness

they dont really matter because you are still going to close the valve covers, i perferably put the bolts in the back of the engine due to when you have the engine in they will be alittle hard to get

They don't all matter and some are not even used, but if he is using the factory harness' and plug wire clips they will want to be in the right position. But that is why I said don't tighten them yet.
