Beautiful valve covers
Can anyone here identify these valve covers? I can't make out the name, but I think they are the nicest set of Olds valve covers I've seen!

Thanks I like those a lot. Do they make those for a 350? Maybe just cover the holes not used?

Yeah, but all the holes are drilled. Is there any chance of the unused holes leaking?

Why? Your heads don't have 10 bolts for the valve covers? What engine do you have?

Never mind I see the picture now. They make them with 5 bolt holes too. I just seen a set on eBay for around $350.

Mine is a 350 from 1977, doesn't have all the holes in the heads drilled that the 455 does.
