A while back, someone posted a photo of their collection of Oldsmobile valve covers.
The covers were mounted on a piece of plywood, maybe 4x4
His collection included the GMPP and M/T style covers
These would be for the 64-1990 motors(330-455)
Anyone know who it was?, or can help me find the post or picture?
TIA

 

I don’t remember the post but 66sportcoupe mentioned to me he had several sets of early valve covers

 

Try going out to google. It will bring you right back here.

 

Ive done a lot of Google searches, and apparently Im not searching for the correct term. Not finding anything that shows multiple different Olds valve covers.

 

If you commented on the post you can go to your profile page and go to your posts, scroll down through them and you will find it.
If not, I'm not sure how you will find it. You might try the search feature.

 

site:classicoldsmobile.com valve covers

in search bar click on images will get you a bunch, not sure if will find the ones your looking for but it might

 

Search function(valve covers) doesnt return anything useful. I dont believe I commented on the post, but started scrolling thru my old posts. They only go back 500 posts though.

Thanks for the ideas

 

I spent this afternoon searching the gallery hoping the photo would turn up, damn theres a lot of photos posted.

 

Here’s the two I recollect. Took a lot more searching than I woulda thunk!

Thanks, not the one though. The person in question had a bunch of Olds aftermarket valve covers attached to a board for display. Like a 4x4 piece of plywood with 2 rows of covers

Thanks for everyones help so far

Nope, wasnt that guy. He was a strange bird.

 

I may have found it but lots of results. Just wanted to share some Google search tips called Power Searching that has always helped me when researching. Not to insult but a lot of people aren't aware you basically write simple code in a search bar that really helps!

Include "site:" to search for information within a single website like all mentions of "Olympics" on the New York Times website. [ Olympics site:nytimes.com ]

Tip: Also search within a specific top-level domain like .org or .edu or country top-level domain like .de or .jp. [ Olympics site:.gov ]

For your example, you can search "valvecovers site: classicOldsmobile.com" then click images. It will only show images from this site and no other junk to weed through!

There's lots of other power search field options if you Google cheat sheet or power search.

 

I think i recalll that...did the image show some older valve covers like the green and yellow ones? I think the posted was just collecting old VCs and was either showing the green color or researching the green color

 

He may have had some Pre-64 valve covers, but was mainly for 330-455 motors. He had the Script GMPP Oldsmobile, the DRCE Script, the block letter GMPP, and they the other cast covers from M/T, Edelbrock, Holley, Offenhauser, and some others. I cant remember what the "others" were. Trying to put together a list of all the M/T style clones. I can think of 5, and I think there are at least 4 more

Now thats a valve cover post, thanks.

The blank M/T style is one I wasnt sure of, the Sharpe are like hens teeth, and that Weiend is one Ive never seen, so I'll add it to my list
