Re: Valve covers

Here's basically the same style valve cover that has a notch cut out of the passenger side front cover to clear the alternator.

Re: Valve covers

I ordered these same covers a few months back. Great quality but I could never get them to cleat the alternator. I grinded the heck out of the alternator and the accessory bracket, but no luck. Go with the short style, not tall.

Re: Valve covers

I went to the actual warehouse and made some assumptions. I was expecting a redneck place since all that they sell is chromed and polished domestic parts.... boy I was wrong! The chick there was a little asian hottie and it turns out that the company is completely chinese owned. LOL! They were also shocked cuz they usually only get white folks for customers and Im asian. LOL!

I checked out the goods and went with the short chromed aluminum valve covers, they came with one hole in each cover. Good deal at $80.00 out the door.

Apparently Edelbrock and a few other companies buy from the same manufactuer in Taiwan and just put their names on it. I chatted with the guy for about 45 minutes and he's a HUGE camaro fan.
