    Trying to decide what valve covers to run on my 390 Caddy motor. Always liked the Hildebrant finned covers but there is a another vintage styled finned valve covers made by PML. Does anybody know of another style?

    If Im not mistaking people were having a problem with the new hildebrant covers. they dont clear adjustable rocker arms if you have them. Do a search. I have a old set of edelbrock covers on mine.

    When mfrs indicate their Caddy valve covers do not clear adjustable rockers - do they mean Studebaker rockers or is there an aftermarket design that doesn't clear? Or both?

  6. If you use adjustable push rods no worry of them hitting valve cover.

    Where can I find a set of "Cadillac" script valve covers as pictured above that will fit a Cad 500? I can't stand the plain jane chrome covers I have on my 500 currently.
