would you guys buy em if edelbrock re-made em?
they've been re-introducing finned covers just about every year now.
and they're making a new model 94 carb this year.
maybe a shout out to em for our Y needs?

davis (1/6/2010)

Darn tootin I would...probably 2 sets. As the originals usually change hands in the neighborhood of $250-300, I would expect brand new polished could realistically sell in the $300-350 range, which would put them close enough to the Offy, Fenton, and Moon covers to generate interest. A funny side story, I found a guy up north with a "Y" powered '59 F100. He was asking $600 for his ratty truck, but he had a set of NICE Edelbrock covers on it. I offered him $300 plus a stock set of valve covers and he declined. Were I closer, I just would have bought the truck and flipped it after swapping the valve covers.

I lucked out and found a pair incorrectly listed on Ebay last year. They are out there, this pair was pretty rough but I spent all winter sanding and polishing them to perfection. Last week, a family member called and said that he had just sent me a pair of really nice TBird covers in nice shape. Now all I need to find are the diagonally finned models. Keep the faith!
My name is Greg and I am addicted to Y's.

| yep...those are nice covers... And I am still looking for my unicorn...as history has shown me, I usually find what I want when I am not looking for it. Maybe it's time to stop driving myself nuts over these things. I have nice chromies to dress things right now. When the Edelbrock's come, I'll be ready... Thanks for keeping an eye out guys. If you find a set, just send me an email...

I have set of the legendary shevybrock valve covers.They are porely made and dont fit right.No matter what I tryed I couldnt get them to seal up ,they leaked just like a scrub timing cover.The holes in the top dont line up good enough for them to seal up.Yes they are actual Y-block covers and not from a old rocket or stude covers.And somebody drilled a breather hole in one,but I could weld a piece in easily.The way they are now ,they are unuseable.
