I used the Central Corvette paint on my valve covers, runners, and plenum. Looks great. Bought my 88 used so I do not know the difference in the colors.

Looks great. What prep work did you do?

Plenum and runners, just soaked & cleaned with mineral spirits.

Valve covers, soaked & cleaned with mineral spirits and a wire brush that looks like a tooth brush. Followed up with engine cleaner. You could use engine cleaner on all 3 if you like.

HAD2HAV2 is there any chance you have the runners on the wrong sides?

Placement is correct. Small tube is for the Cold Start injector. The other side does not have one. I had the Runners ported and so when I was doing a test fit I had to scratch my head to remember which side went where. The little tube gave it away. Funny, corvetteronw's little tube is on the driver side. Mine is a 88.
