Help identifying valve covers
Are these factory valve covers? They say Corvette and have Power in a small circle. I can't find any info on the web for them. They are on my 78 L-82. I would like to polish these to a chrome like finish if possible. Thanks in advance for any info.

L82 would have the finned alum covers that were painted Black that year with the top edge of the fins not painted.
Repro or new GM alum covers can be bought already painted ready to install from all the major corvette parts supply houses.
I think the L82 may have had a blue painted intake that year , possibly aluminum .
