    New section Guess that part

     



    [IMG][/IMG]I`m putting this here not sure where else to put it, I was given an old set of valve covers, the guy said they were sm blk chevy, well I new right away they were`nt but took them anyways, bigger that sm blk, not big enough for big block I was thinking Pontiac or Olds, they must be very early castings because they are really thick and heavy, Eldebrocks. size is 20.5 inches long, bolt pattern is 4.75 x 10.5, any body have any measurements handy..?

    Rich,

    Without checking my pontiac covers for sure, I would say Pontiac. Will check them tomorrow. BTW, nice set, if you know what I mean.

    I think Jack nailed it.........Pontiac. This is from Edelbrocks site:

    Designed for 1962-79 Pontiac (301-455 cid). _Edelbrock first made these aluminum valve covers in the late 50s and theyre still a classic today. Made of heavy-gauge sand-cast aluminum, these classic finned valve covers features polished finish. Overall height is 3-1/8", measured from base to top at the highest point. Sold in pairs.

    Sorry Rich,

    My land line went down 4 days ago (don't really use it except for DSL) so have been trying to regain my sanity, forgot to check my V covers. Will do it tomorrow for sure. Just got it back late this afternoon.

    Jack.

    The first set is different than the set Don posted. Flange is straight across on first second has a rounded protrusion around the bolt hole and concave side where the bolts are.

    Rich,

    Measured my Pontiac covers and they are 4 1/4 X 10 1/2. Are you sure of your measurements?

    I double checked the measurements Jack, they are 4.75 x 10.5 20.5 inches long, not quite as rounded on the ends as Don`s but 3.5 in the middle highest point and just 3.0 at the ends. They also came with a set of spacers that are somebodies home made version 1/2 inch alum plate, probably for roller rockers...????

    Don`s pic appears that they are wider in the body....
