Little bit of a guilty pleasure today. Couldn't resist doing some black with satin clear on the valve covers and sanding off the ribs.

That is way prettier than mine, Dave.

And just like that everything is installed and back home running great with no warm hard start.

Thanks Justin. I think we are good to go now. Turns out that part of what we replaced was fine, the lower intake gaskets were the AC Delco ones and they were good and the distributor gear had been replaced as some point but for my own peace of mind I'm glad that we replaced everything. Hoping that I don't have to spend any more on it for a while!!

That was on my 88 though, I need to clean up the dually more in the future. One day.... One day.

Awesome! It's so nice having it start right up isn't it?

Yes it is!! Seems like it runs better as well but maybe I'm just justifying my money spent. lol...

Mine are similar but Victory Red. Did mine 20 years ago. I first did them black when I rebuilt the motor in 1995. My truck had stamped steel VCs because Mark IV BBC. I wanted covers without the logo (like both of yours), but they weren't available at the time. When I redid the motor Red in 2000, they were available, but still tough to find. So I stayed with the set I had. I later had the upper/lower intake powdercoated to look like bare aluminum and then did the plenum to match the VCs. That was when this photo was taken (about 2006)
