What do you think? I got a set of Holley covers to match the carb. Plus the Edelbrocks were too tall. These things were oxidized bad, but a friend of mine at work did a hell of a job.

They look cool, but don't you think they would leak less with the hold downs and gorments in place!

Will these clear the stock alternator on the drivers side? Is that what was wrong with your taller ones?

Alternator is on passenger side. The Edelbrocks worked, just didn't like the height.

I don't think the tall covers have an issue on the long water pump/ passenger side.
I'm just trying to find my own answer to what will/wont work on stock alternator setups. No high jack intended.
