    I started cleaning up my aluminum valve covers and realized they have too much damage (pitting) from oxidation for my liking.

    Does anyone have a nice pair from a 66 (with dimple) PN 1377932 and 1377933 they would be interested in selling?

    Thanks

    I've never looked for or bought a set of these so aren't even sure what a fair price is. I figured mine would be fine for someone that wasn't doing a concourse resto.
    What I ask for mine will probably be determined by what I have to pay for an unblemished set.

    Pitted valve covers would be good candidates for powder coating.
    There are hi-temp fillers avail (Lab-Metal) to do the repairs.
    A PC like 'Almost Chrome' would give a nice semi-polished look, or I'm sure there are other colors that may match the stock aluminum sheen.
