Valve Cover height??
This may be a stupid question but anybody know the height dimensions on a tall and short valve covers. I want to order some new ones to dress up the engine bay a little and wasn't sure which ones I have on my 1980 small block 350 5.7L. I think I have the short ones but just want to make sure.

Short. The tall ones may interfere with the a/c bracket.

tall covers are used for high performance roller rocker engines

Re: Valve Cover height??
if your a/c bracket attaches on top of intake manifold on driver side as shown in this diagram the tall covers will not fit
