Default Ignition shielding?

Does the ignition shielding from a 72 small block fit on a 71 big block?
Thanks for your help!:flag

No...they're different. The mounting brackets are different and the small block shields cover the plug wires all the way to the spark plugs. The big blocks plug wires are wrapped in stainless steel sleeves and go over the valve covers.
