Day 2 Valve Covers - Page 3

Don't forget that most M/T valve covers, when you find them, have made in Japan on the inside. So not all M/T stuff was made here.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Cal Custom were popular also along with the MT's. M, I am hoping you meant slapper bars and not ladder bars for Bens car. There is a set of MT's for sale on the Site I believe. </div></div>

Nope, I typed it right - I've got Ladder Bars, old school, NOS, yellow ones at that. I plan to install them for the look, not the function - I don't want the harsh ride.

I'm not trying to make it an all USA thing, just want to know what was around during that period - and what it looks like. I do like the plain vanilla look of the Cal Customs a little more than the E-brocks and M/T's - reminds me of the cheap, knock off stuff I bought for my first car!

sometimes the cheap, knock off stuff is harder to find in nice shape. Good deal!

Edelbrock BBC covers originally had the curved script, like a rainbow, back in the '60s. I think they went to a flat, straight script "Edelbrock" in the '70s.

Never seen "396" M/Ts. Anyone got a photo?

Moon also makes nice covers that have a Day 2 look but are a new cover.

I did notice the curved vs straight EDELBROCK script difference, guess I'm looking for the curved version - or the Cal's!

Also thinking of going with multiple carbs..... Is this item period correct?

Yes that tunnel ram will work but you have to re-mount the thero housing.

Not period-correct. The Victor-style manifolds came out in the Eighties. This particular manifold was probably used in a Marine application, hence the backwards-mounted carburetors. A neat manifold to maybe keep an eye out for would be a late-Sixties style Weiand dual quad/dual plane manifold. I've seen them on original Nickey Super Camaros when the customer requested dual quads and the neat thing about it is that it is actually very very reminiscent of the Chevrolet dual plane factory hi-rise intake. It's a great looking manifold and if it weren't for the Weiand script, it would look like a factory Chevrolet offering. Being of the dual plane design, and with a couple nice vintage Carter Competition Series carbs, it would be a great Street/Strip manifold.

Speak of the devil......I just checked the 'Bay and there happens to be one currently on there. Check it out.

-I have M/T valvecovers for a SBC-BBC-And a Pontiac V8-The SBC covers are #103R-50B they say "JAPAN"
The BBC covers are #103R-48B they say "MADE IN JAPAN"
The Pontiac are #140R-58B they say "HOLLEY-MICKEY THOMPSON" they are the only set I have that DONT SAY JAPAN OR MADE IN JAPAN ANYWHERE....I have a few more set's i will check ,but I figure these part#'s should help anyone looking for a set on ebay...I think these are "DAY2" and the Most Popular valve covers made,but there are others that are Period correct-I went with a EARLY set of "CORVETTE" aluminum valvecovers with the line that goes thru the "O"-I use em because they are RARE &have no holes in them at all..Also I made my SBC look like a EARLY 'Vette Engine..
