Joe I bought a set of those valve covers on e-bay a couple of months ago. I paid about $275 for them. The seller assured me that they are period and not repops. At the time I was bidding on these covers their were a few sets at that time but these ones got a lot of action. Mine are pretty heavy and look old. Here is a pic of them. I don't know if you will be able to see them to closely but I could take a different pic and e-mail it to you. Are they repops?
