Perfect time to check the valve lash - while the covers are already
off!!
Wires? Magnecor. You'll pay a little more, but from what I've
heard...... spend it. Cost you $99.00.

Subject: DML: MP valve covers

Just wanted to let everyone know I recieved my valve covers
yesterday.
 Man these things are Beeeuuutiful! I took a bunch of photos of the
 covers and the install process so later on I'll do a write up and
 post it on the DML page. So far I've only been able to put one
cover
 on because I'm waiting to get the grommet set for the pcv valve. So
 now I'm running around with a stock cover on the passenger side and
 the MP one on the drivers side. At least I've got the difficult one
 taken care of.... Also I tried to use the stock studs
 for the wire looms but they were too short, the threads wouldn't
 reach far enough into the head to screw down, so I'll have to get
 some aftermarket wire looms. Oh, and another thing, I'm pissed at
Moroso. 5 of
 my eight wires pulled off of the connector when I was taking them
off
 the plug. I pulled on the boot (not even real hard) and they just
 slipped right out! These were factory crimpped! So any suggestions
on some good wires? I had to
 reuse some of the stock ones, so my engine looks REAL funky now --
 two different valve covers, 5 stock wires 3 Moroso wires, stock
 manifolds..... Oh well, I guess I'll have to go to church tommorow
 for all the cussing I've done in the last few days!...
