1966 L79 Valve Covers
I am looking for a clean set of Valve covers for my 66 L79. I have seen new GM Mold valve covers for lesss than $150 a set on Ebay. Has anyone bought these? I am curious if the quality is like OE or if the as cast product is inferior to the actual 1966 originals.
I appreciate your help.
My originals were borrowed by a brother in law that left the nest with them and never came back. For a couple hundred I will replace rather than chase the old ones.

They're still being made from the original GM molds, they're just not being made by GM now. I've seen them and I think they are comparable to the originals.
