New section Guess that part

[IMG]http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...9/IMG_0710.jpg[/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..?

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.:CRY::o:rolleyes: Just got it back late this afternoon.

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....
