I'm currently stripping my '67,(just recently got it) and noticed that the valve covers that I thought were typical M/T with fins actualy have a Pontiac logo where the oil cap knock-out is. What's up with this ? Are they a hot item ? Anybody interested in them ?

They could be from any number of manufacturers.
Do they say who made them? MT for sure? I know Cal Custom will have a part # and info on the inside of the cover etc...

Many manufacturers did this for specific markets. Chevy or F... f... (I can't say it) being among the most common.

I bet they would be worth something to the right person. I'd be interested, but then would have to build another motor around them... and then a car around that... so you see my problem (or sickness)

Let us know what you find - Brett - 67 Drop Top 455!

I think that they are just regular M/T valve covers.I have a set on my 350 Chev that are marked "Chevrolet" in the oil cap knock-out.In the 70s and 80s when Mickey Thompson was "HIP" these valve covers were as popular as what Edelbrock is now!

Thanks for the info. Pontiac or not I'll be swap'n 'em out for CHROME !

IMO,unless you`re going to buy original GM chrome pans you might as well leave the M/T pans on.The chrome on the cheap pans turn colour,after awhile they begin to flake,and leak like a basket.And the M/T covers look a million times better than CHROME!

if you also want a little different look ....try sandblasting them (gives it a simi cast alum. look)
and then paint (engine color) either the two side and leave the fins the plain ...or vise versa.
just spray any unpainted areas with a clear to keep the look and oil and dirt out of the raw blasted area.

now don't EVERYONE do it or i will have to change mine

later
