Polished finned Offenhauser early with out holes.

 

Nuttin’ wrong w/these. I knew I’d miss at least one option.

If this morphs into “Show Yer SBC
Valve Covers”, fine by me.

 

Put the Canadian Pontiac ones on your list.

 

picked these up the other day for $20

 

Very cool, and great deal. !

 

Having to use tall really limits my options. Fortunately, found these. Proud of the ARP bullet head studs (and so is ARP !).

 

X2^^^^^

 

I’ve always been kinda fond of these:

Always considered the original sand cast stagger ones of these pretty cool:

 

My vote.

 

Like these? :

 

These 9 fin Cals, have a good look. A little late for HAMB era , though :

 

Can’t find a way to
edit poll to include
chrome stamped SBC
valve covers.

 

My second choice^^^^^
I had a pair years ago that had been on an l79 that had a battery explosion and at the time I had not yet gained an appreciation for patina like those above so I sold them.

Though many would call those valve covers "wallhanger" quality, I think they would look great on the right car.

 

Almquist’s have a unique look :

 

My road usually leads back to these :

 

Ones that don't leak

 

I'll take that as a "like" then!
No need for polls, in my view the "like like like like like like like like"
button that people overuse just allows them to be lazy.
Besides, people need to learn how to put more than two words together.
Maybe there should be a "sticky" poll for that!
Rant over.

 

Early Cal Custom/Cal Chrome

 

I like all shown so far except those oddball Almquist covers. I see nobody has mentioned those new style covers with the fins running vertical instead of horizontal.

 

Staggered bolt Fenton's. $40.00 yard sale find.
