Title: Wanted: Olds 455 VC-485 Oldsmobile Aluminum Valve Covers
Post by: Boatwidow on December 27, 2007, 12:02:56 PM: Hubbys b'day coming up. This is the big hint he dropped me.

Old 455 VC-485 Oldsmobile Aluminum Valve Covers with Script lettering.

Any ideas that won't break the bank.

I know they show up on Ebay every now and again.

Maybe I'll give him an IOU for when they do.

TIA

Those are eBay; you can get them with or without the aircleaner; are for automotive, not marine though; not as good quality as the others, but I like them.
