Thanks! I went with new stands and roller rockers, so the original valve cover was not going to work without a spacer, and those Pontiac valve cover spacers are $100...ugh! I had a few M/T valve covers laying about, so I painted one to match. The other thing I had to go with was a spare Ram Air III exhaust manifold to replace the OE manifold that was not salvageable...almost no one noticed it at the show.
