Mr. Tom,
I've been out of pocket for a while now.
Read this thread shortly after you origionally posted it.

Question for ya...
What is the diff. in height of this new valve cover, verses your older version with that monster spacer that I presently have ?

I'm going to have some serious clearance issues with running the carb hat over the valve cover and then trying to close my hood on my 65 Chevy II Wagon.

I'll hit ya up with a phone call after first of the year.
Thinking of sending you my 250 head and having you do it up for me.

Thank you Sir, happy Holidays,
Stu
