Valve cover sticker

So took my car into a local shop to get duals put on it and the jacka$$'s somehow managed to torch the sticker on my driver side valve cover.

After waiting 2 hours for them to finish it off (they ran out of mig wire), they apparently forgot to fix the leak I had on the passenger side. Oh yeah, they also bent the pipe too close to the frame so I get some nice bumps coming through the footwells when I torque it up a bit

I will be taking it back tomorrow for them to fix up the leak and noise but in the meantime, can anyone tell me where I can find the valve cover sticker for a 1967 Olds Delta 88 with a 425 super rocket? Here is the pre-melt image of the sticker I need



Thanks gents

Fusick and several other decal vendors have lots of decals for these cars, but I've never seen this one. You'll have to hunt around, but don't be surprised if you never find it. Not everything is reproduced. The 425 engine is not as popular or as common as the 455 or the 350.

I'm still trying to figure out how they got fire up that high. Even if they had to fire wrench the studs out of the manifold, IIRC the valve cover is close to a foot above the manifold outlet.

Or did you get that S manifold and they had to heat the bolts to get them out?

Check with Mark Cornea Reproductions "Dr. Decal" . He has the most comprehensive list of Olds decals I know of, but I think Fusick get theirs from him.

Thanks guys. I emailed Dr Decal as I don;t see this one on his site. Its a long shot but you never know.

The exhaust gasket was blown so I had them change out the manifold for the starfire one. The dude probably laid the torch on the cover at some point. They said they had a bitch of a time getting the boolts off and they snapped a couple on the process.

I will take it up with their boss tomorrow when I go back to get them to adjust the pipe and finish the job.
