Default Valve cover question

Will a valve cover from a newer 4.0 fit a 91 4.0? I have a newer valve cover from an i6 but I'm not sure what year it has the gromit style elbows on top instead of the twist ones.

Huh.. one of my elbows magically disappeared on my 92 and i couldnt find one so i was going to swap in a newer valve cover. When i looked at it i thought the holes were different.

Sorry for the misinformation.

the only difference I saw was the way the pcv valves attached and these valve covers have a better paint job.

Newer cover also has a functional oil cap!
