Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
had the same thing with the breathers , but havent seen them on the engine yet
i do wonder if theres nothing in the way of the opening when there mounted , i can immagine the first rocker and springs sitting in front of it

Get your dremel out and etch "C-10" in them

I ran the same ones and belt sanded the logo off and just left it the brushed finish. It looked pretty good.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Or you can do the chevrolet script...that'd be fun to do free-hand with a dremel

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i think you could just flatten the tops on a beltsander to get the edelbrock logo off and then do a chemical eching same way they do to the copper electric circuitboards , maybe you could put "hartbeat of america" on them in small fond , it would be waaaaay simpler than trying to carve it out with a dremel
come to think of it you could use a red copper coverplate over the logo and use the same bolds to hold it on top , age it intoo black reworka little with steelwhool so it looks like a jeansbutton and then just keep it that way
