Valve Cover Recommendations
#4
If you want "coolness" find a set of the '73-'74 covers that have "Oldsmobile" stamped in them. They have a narrow profile all the way down instead of a "notch" so there is no fitment problems at all. They show up on epay all the time & I'd bet someone here has a set for sale.

Thanks for the responses. 72 Cutlass with ac removed. Brake and heater normal tight fit areas. Just don't see much for sale on the market I like thats cool. I see a number of covers available that look "cheap". Love the script ones but way too tall. I'll keep looking.

Stock 11" power brake booster? Something smaller?
How are the accessories mounted? Alternator on the passenger side or driver side?
These questions all factor in to which covers fit. The driver side alternator bracket won't clear anything taller than stock. Same for the 11" brake booster and the stock A/C HVAC box. If you want taller aftermarket covers, go to manual brakes or a hydroboost. The stock metal heater-only box clears the regular finned aluminum covers (Holley/Edelbrock/Mickey Thompson etc). The stock passenger side alternator bracket clears these also.
The "script" valve covers referred to above were not the tall aluminum ones but the lower one in this photo, used in 1973-74 only. They clear any stock configuration of brackets/HVAC/booster.
