Will this valve cover fit?

I'm pretty sure it will but I wanted to double check with the local Eagle experts first. I have an '84 Eagle wagon with a 258.

Yeah, should fit. On most heads, you'll find two small holes on the driver's side that will line up with the holes on the new valve cover. You will most likely have to run a bottoming tap down those holes to thread them.
