I have a 1966 with a 250 and I would like to put an aluminum valve cover on it. I can't find any that have the holes for the pvc valve and the hole for the hose that goes to the air filter has anyone bought an aluminum valve cover for a 6 cyl.

i have used a couple. i had a hole for the pcv valve but no baffle, so this coused me some headaches. i had to make a baffle since my intake was getting some oil in it. i don't think the large hose from side of valve cover to bottom of filter is that important. it can prob be omitted if you go to a breather without the hole in the bottom. i doubt you will be abe to find one of those. both mine were used alum valve covers and had the hole for pcv valve. i'm sure you could drill a hole and mill off the fins if need be. good luck to you.

you might have more responses in the engine or driveline section if you want to give it a shot.

If you get a cover without a baffle for the breather hole,you can buy a breather grommet that has one built in. I use 'em on my 350.
