Jack,
I'm using LA valve covers on my 318. (Actually, they're Sean's valve
covers; I bought them from him when he sold his Dak.) They work great;
no leaks, no fitment problems whatsoever. Just use a good quality
silicone in addition to the gaskets. (I think I used "The Right Stuff")
I don't recall the thread size offhand, but you should be able to use
the stock fasteners. I did pick up some "T" style hold down bolts at
Carlisle last year, and they worked so it is probably a common thread.
(Actually, the T bolts worked except for the left rear bolt, the master
cylinder is in the way, so I had to use a normal bolt in that location.
