I thought it had threads and was screwed into the threaded hole on the cover but when I ordered a replacement from corvette central it had self stick adhesive on the back side? What gives??

I don't think it's screwed in - I've read of many guys who did add some heavier duty adhesive than whatever the self stick stuff is, though.

I used a high temp porcellain paint on crossfire Air cleaner and will do my valve covers soon. Goes on well with good coverage plus does a good fill for pitting. I'll try to get some pics over the next few days.
