Help me choose.
Which do you prefer?

Nostalga...


...Or stock black GMPP crate covers?

To me, i like the nostalga valve covers. It seem that the motor stands out more.
With the black ones all i see is the intake, if you know what i mean. JMHO.
They both look good,but like the nostalga look better.

I like the second ones in (chrome) looks more hi tech with your fancy front of motor..

nostalgia, if they were a little shorter.

Nostalgia...but then you know how I am Mark-born about 25 years too late!

I also like the nostalgia look. I found a set of the old finned aluminum Edelbrock valve covers that have been polished that I'm putting on my engine. James

i put a set of the classic finned eldebrock on the 283 in my 55 gmc, now i'm looking for someone to donate a pair for the 454 in my 63 because they aren't cheap. i've always liked the finned, but to each his own.

One more vote here for nostalgia.

       I agree, but look at the front of the motor..  does it look nostalgia or new age?

I like the 1st set. I took some old Weiand ribbed covers, cleaned and painted. Maybe too flashy, I don't know but I like them

Just my $0.02 worth, but the nostalgia look is nicer for an older car. The new style covers look as though they belong on fuel injected engines. I have a set off of 95 Impala SS for free to anyone who wants to pay shipping.

DID SOMEONE SAY SHIPPING?   I have money for shipping       P.O. box 345 CLINTON ONT N0M1L0   

They are now yours Carl. I will call home and see if I can get them shipped to you ASAP. I am away at work right now for another month or so but I will try to make it happen.

no rush friend, as long as my name is on them .  thats CARL # 2

Don't worry, he won't make a mistake and send them to Carl1. He's still stinging from being outfished by Carl1 last fall

(I'm sorry for de-railing your valve cover thread.)

OHHHH i like these too. Not too flashy at all.

Never mind the orange covers, look at those heads!

aren't you supposed to leave them like that?   I primed mine, and painted them orange!

These are the ones I'm putting on my car. I bought them a couple months ago.

The tall aluminum valve covers go better with the way you have the engine setup. The black ones, look out of place. The black is one way to go to help dissipate heat. Semi flat black gives off heat better than polished/bright surfaces. But shiny, better.
