i couldnt use tall valve covers on my stock 305 engine so im guessing no unless u relocated the compressor to maybe being mounted on the lower half of the block or if they made a mount that stuck it out farther u could. dont know bout that one havent looked

I have tall covers with my R4 compressor but tall covers cannot be used with the A6.

what do i have?

Mike76251 · 01-04-2004, 04:27 AM

Is the compressor long or short?

Is there also a clearance issue with the power brake booster as well?

My 84 is just like that with Moroso tall covers.
The only difference I see is the A/C hose but it looks like it will still work.
