Where to get chrome valve covers that fit around alt???
Looking for some chrome covers that will allow me to use the stock alt location. Also looking for a place that powder coats intake for cheap, but still does a good job.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Jegs has them for $106. They are chrome steel with a red chevy bowtie on them. I have them on my car. There is usually a set on ebay that is polished aluminum.

Any Centerbolt valve cover will work. You need to modify the alternator to clear the area the valve covers will take up. Someone has a pictoral guide to show you how. I'll try to find it for you. Mike

I have the popular centerbolt eBay polished aluminum covers. They come pre-notched for alternator clearance. Here's a few pics:
