Red or Black valvecovers - whats faster?
« on: July 16, 2007, 06:09:41 PM »

Jeezzz...sounds like a Chevy guy question.   Anyhow, I couldn't get those black MP alum covers to stop leaking....so I took them off and put the cleaned / painted steelies back on.  I think it looks pretty good in red!   you can see the steering coupler mod. I did to go from pwr. to manual.  With the recent SB vs. BB in and early A....the SB is the easiest way to go with stock parts.
