Big Block Chevy Valve Cover Needed

[mssl72]

Well, I search ebay everyday and haven't seen the correct stuff yet. That's why I'm still searching.

I know the feeling I need a NOS rear taillight panel for my '69 vette and so far have not found one.

Do you have a GM part number for the taillight panel?

Just saw your post . You must be needing one of those in a BAD way . That is such a rare piece ! Those go for a mint on e-bay . People are always looking for those . You would give alot of money for it if i had one wouldn't you ? Had a guy offer me 100 bucks for it & wouldn't sell it . Sorry , just had to use some of the lines that have been pulled on me from time to time [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] . I do have one though . It is not in pristene condition like the one you have in your photo ( small dents , no rust to speak of ) . Does not have drippers & didn't look like it ever had them ? Anyway , want $ 25 for it so i don't think you could go wrong . Can probably send some photo's tomorrow if you want .

Pardon me , may i have a towel ? Need to wipe the SPIT off my face . Don't imagine you have heard the saying , beggers can't be choosers ? I dare say there will be no more takers on your ad , afraid they can't measure up to your extreme standards . So what mine has no drippers ? Can't hardly see the spot welds from them on a painted valve cover anyway . Not much other reason for needing drippers , is there ? Nice try ? What's that all about ? Had the item described ( minus drippers [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] ) at a reasonable price ( in my mind ) . Didn't try to do anything but help a guy out ! Oh well , at least now i know what car this engine came out of ! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

The drippers are there for a reason...just like same the slotted rocker balls. Been there, done that, learned the hard way...story of my life! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, I *think* we have a set of those valve covers, that came off of a '66 L-72 we bought from the left coast. They are currently on the Nova's engine on the stand, but I'll take a look tomorrow.

Rob, thanks. Let me know what you find.

Kent- I have seen those. I may be heading that way. I thought I would try to find an original first. Thanks for the heads up.

Mark, I have exactly what you want in pristine condition.They are from a September 1965 produced 427/425 Impala[ID suffix stamp pad].I have the entire motor which had 1965 dated bearings when dissasembled and these still have remnants of silver gaskets ..They look exact to your photo,they do not nor should not have drippers being an early 66 production vehicle.Later on in production the drippers were added. I dont usually answer wanted ads but its semms like you are running in circles so far,maybe i can help out.
