Moon or vintage Corvette finned valve covers
Looking for a nice set of "old school" style cast aluminum small block valve covers for my roadster... open to consideration of just about anything, old corvette covers, Moon or Cal Customs, etc. Prefer polished, but will consider anything as long as they're in nice shape...Let me know what you got! joeybsyc@aol.com

Are you aware that early 'Vette valve covers were stagger mounted?Ken Thomas

I'm fairly certain I've seen them with straight across holes too, i think only the earliest ones were staggered. (56/57?) They produced finned covers with Corvette script for several model years, I think until at least 63, maybe later.

The vette covers also came with either 7 or 9 fins............you'll pay dearly for the 9's unless you find an uninformed seller.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I didn't want you to get stuck with something that you can't use.

Only the very early 283 cu in covers were staggered. The newer ones-those made for the 327 are not staggered. I have a set, but they are not for sale Originally Posted by cffisher

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
