Hmm.. I didn't know that about late model small block valve covers... I should pay more attention when I'm looking around under the hood of my Avalanche...
 
That's too bad Dennis. Just keep looking. I'm sure you will find something you like.

Thanks Larry, my late model small block has valve cover bolts in the center rather than the edge.  Summit shows them for center bolt valve covers but it would not look nearly as clean as yours.
Thanks,

Dennis,
 
I bought those at www.summitracing.com The part number for mine is RNM-1102P.
 
If you do a search with just RNM- in the search box, you will see them all. They come in polished, red or blue for all kinds of applications.
 
To install, you just back out two of your valve cover bolts, match up the holes and put the bolts back in.
 
It costs around $40.

Hi Larry,

Your big block does look great.  Please tell me about your plug wire guides.  Do you know if there is something similar for late model small blocks?  Do they screw onto the side of the head?

Thanks,

Jim,
 
Thanks for the kudos. The air cleaner is a combination of a drop down base, a 14x2.5 inch K&N Filtercharger, and the top is a K&N X-stream filter top that is supposed to add 500+ cfm of airflow. I had to go with this combination to overcome my clearance issue in my 66 brought on by the use of the Edelbrock Performer RPM Airgap intake.

Ditto. I also bought the MSD p/n 35379 for the big blocks which are 8.5mm spiral wound 50 ohm wires with the bendable ends. They are red with gray boots.
 
As a sidenote about MSD as a company, when I assembled my engine, I took it in to have it dyno'ed. In the process, I lost my coil wire. Not being able to find a suitable replacement at Summit, I called MSD. They sent one out at no charge. Way to go MSD!
 
Here's a picture of my engine with the wires.

I found that MSD Multi-angle ends worked best with my BB and Hooker headers.  They can each be bent to fit their particular location.

I've been meaning to ask for a recomendation on wires as well. I have a 69 396SS with Hooker Comp headers and I'm needing to replace the plug wires. Any brands to avoid? 45 degree boots? 135 degree boots?

I bought some of the Taylor 8MM spiral wound wires. Just plain black, with the 45 degree boots. You can get them straight, or 90 degree also. They appear stock, only giveaway is some white writing on them.
