Re: Valve Covers
I also might add that I fabricated the wire loom on a CNC router. It fits under the aluminum wire holder that sits on top of the valve cover and is held in place by the two center bolts. If anyone would like the electronic file for it, I would be glad to send it.

Re: Valve Covers
The fuel line is 3/8" brake line that I bent with a tube bender, into an Edlebrock in-line fuel filter, into the Edlebrock 1406 fuel inlet. Here's a pict to show you a side view of the fuel inlet. The other thing that I might point out is, I am running an electric fuel pump on the red truck due to the late model 350 not having a mechancial fuel pump. The Edlebrock was a little fussy about fuel pressure, so I drilled and tapped the large nut on the fuel inlet (at the carb) and installed a fuel pressure gauge so I could determine that I had the correct pressure at the carb.

Re: Valve Covers
I have a very similar set but for the bigblock. With a bigblock they needed to be modified to clear the brake booster, but I think with a small block you'd be OK.
Mine weren't nicely painted like the ones you posted. I wound up painting them aluminum because it's just a pain to try to keep bare aluminum looking good if you can't polish it (rough surface).
