Default 1970 Corvette 350 Valve Covers
Which valve covers are correct for a 1970 350 300 hp base engine? Painted orange or aluminum?

NCRS manual says "stamped steel, painted orange" for the base engine and hello from one '70 owner to another!

Finned aluminum covers on LT-1 only in 1970.

You bet, aluminum for the L-46 and LT-1. Steel orange guys for the base 350 and chromers for the 454.

Oops! That's right. The 1970 engine line-up did include the L-46. [I had mistakenly remembered that as only being a 1969 engine option.]
