Valve Covers
« on: July 12, 2012, 10:05:40 AM »
What is the correct valve cover for a '67 GT350? Mine do not have the horizontal raised aluminum stripes with black paint bordering them on each side. Sorry for the poor description.

Should have the raised fins, machined smooth with black crinkle finish on the rest.  COBRA Powered by Ford cast into them.

Since this is highly related, my valve cover bolts are 3 slash (radial) KS bolts with one really thin washer.
Are these supposed be RBW like the 66?

On edit -- just searched a number of vendors and they all agree that 65-68 Shelbys (aluminum v/c) used the RBW bolts with a flat and lock washer.
