How much do you want for them? I'm building a 303 Olds right now.  Might go good on it.

I'd guess they are early Rocket Olds or Studebaker.

I just compared my Edelbrocks to the picture posted and they are definitely different. The finned area between the bolt hole and the script is approximately twice as long on the Y-bock version. Be interesting to find out what they fit.

I purchased a Y-Block set of finned aluminum valve covers from Hemmings maybe 30 years ago.  Delivery came and I saw those holes too close together and what a disappointment as they turned out to be early Olds.

Those valve covers don't look right to be y-block.

The holes appear to be too much inboard to each other and the holes are not large enough to accept the y-block grommets as they go inside the bolt holes.

If you get a chance measure between the bolt holes and length and width of the covers to compare to a y-block set



Studebaker??

Congratulations Todd,

You worked hard for these.  I know they will cap off a great bird project.  Will we see it at Eagle Field?

Later..............Charlie

The plan is to bring the '60 to Eagle Field in May, the Bird to the one in October, but we'll see. If I don't bring either, someone should kick me in the nuts...Hehe

To say I'm excited is an understatement guys...and thanks for the unexpected bump to the top of the classified list, which is what got YBLOCKMERC's attention. He's a helluva nice guy...hope he hangs around here a bit more...Thanks Marc!

I started looking for a set of these when I got the Bird (August '08)...I've lost 3 ebay auctions, just missed them on Craigslist twice, and had lame scammer attempts at fordbarn.com a few times...

Also appreciate all the other guys who've been keeping their eyes out for me!

You can bet I'll take pictures when I get these polished and installed...
