Default Big block Chevy chrome valve covers

Does anyone make a decent reproduction chrome valve cover set that (A) fits, and (B) doesn't have drippers?

I've seen the ones on eBay but I haven't heard any feedback in regards to how well they fit.

`67 style would be preferred, but a set w/o the drivers side rear recess is acceptable as well.

Much obliged.

Eric

I got a set from Crane ( http://www.cranescorvette.com/pr02.htm ) for my 68 Chevelle and I couldn't be happier. Mine have drippers like they are suppose to have, but I'd be willing to bet, they will make them any way you want them. Give um a call. Heres a shot of mine before I installed them last winter.

Bill;

Thanks for the reply.

I've seen the Cranes, and while they're definitely a work of art, they're "over the top" for what I'm putting together. I probably should've mentioned that in the first post.

Basically all I need are nice "driver" quality covers if I can find them.

Eric
