Edelbrock Elite Valve Covers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am wanting to install the Edelbrock Elite valve covers on my truck . The truck is a 396 with the stock brake booster. The valve covers are 4 15/16th inches high and it looks to me that they will not fit under my brake booster. If anyone has these on their BB truck with the stock booster please post a pic.

I should work, but nothings easy. lol. I have to take the carb off to get the valve cover off. It's not a good picture but can see how close it is. Another place you will have to check is the firewall clearance in the back corners.

I will try to take some better pictures for you.
