View Full Version : Where to buy factory correct valve covers bluesdog Sep 28th, 05, 08:58 AM Does anyone know who sells correct "original" reproduction or NOS valve covers for 68 camaro SB, 327/275? Thanks Bluesdog Jonesy Sep 28th, 05, 09:29 AM I would look on ebay for a decent set. They usually come up on there from time to time and are usually reasonably priced. OR run an ad in the classifieds here. I have got good response on some of the wanted ads that I have run. djunod Sep 28th, 05, 09:44 AM Like a broken record... Rick's sells them... both original and reproduction. bluesdog Sep 28th, 05, 07:56 PM Ricks only sells 67's. I think the PVC valve is different. YearOne and national don't sell 68. Most everyone has chrome aftermarkets. Bluesdog JimM Sep 28th, 05, 08:25 PM I still have mine in the basement, I'll try to get a pic up. Not for sale, sorry. djunod Sep 28th, 05, 09:57 PM Ricks only sells 67's. I think the PVC valve is different. YearOne and national don't sell 68. Most everyone has chrome aftermarkets. I must have dreamed it... I just double-checked the catalog, and yes indeed, you are right, only the '67. RonM Sep 29th, 05, 04:26 AM I picked mine up on e-bay about a year ago. I paid $103.00 for them, they are in mint condition and I've seen a few sets up for auction since then. Hope this helps, RonM. Unreal Sep 29th, 05, 05:53 PM For my b/b, no one made correct repops, so I searched ebay for a year or so, and found the correct ones. Paid almost $200 to have them re-chromedget. That was painful, but it was the only I could find to get the correct ones. Of course, rather than cheap flash chrome, like the originals, I went the show chrome route. bluesdog Sep 29th, 05, 06:47 PM Off to ebay I go, unless there's someone with a pair in their basement (wink-wink Mr. JimM) they want to sell. Bluesdog Smoke'm Sep 29th, 05, 07:09 PM grab a mint set of stockers and have them chromed...your probably not going to want old used scratched ones on your car anyway... stevea Sep 29th, 05, 08:06 PM does anyone have a picture of an original valve cover off a 67? thanks Jonesy Sep 29th, 05, 08:23 PM http://i4.ebayimg.com/01/i/05/04/52/30_12_sb.JPGThey were the ones with the Chevrolet script: stevea Sep 29th, 05, 10:38 PM Thanks for the picture of the valve covers. I have the original ones on my car, but they are peeling a little. Does it cost a lot to get them re-chromed? Thanks Jonesy Sep 29th, 05, 10:51 PM I think the price varies quite a bit. Up here it would cost me about $175 to get a set like the ones shown done. You would have to find a place that does chroming and get a quote. |
