Edelbrock Valve Covers for Firebird?

I'm looking at valve covers, and like the look of these:

I prefer them because they have no logo... but these are for Chevy, and the only ones I can find that are for Pontiac have the logo on them. Does anyone know where I can get logo-less ones for a 5.7L 350 Formula? Thanks

I had a quick look through the Edelbrock catalog and these will fit Firebirds and Camaros. They make two types. Tall and regular style.

if you have a 350 tpi, then you have center bolt heads, those vavle covers are for the older style heads.

Edelbrock sells aluminum center bolt valve cover. I have them on my 350 TPI.

Thanks for the info... I don't see center bolt with fins without a logo on Summit so I will check other places.

Bought some for my 84 z28 two months ago. Look great just wished my car would look that good. Just had to replace a door due to rust. Still working on it over the weekends.

Re: Edelbrock Valve Covers for Firebird?

For some reason I don't understand center bolt valve covers for the late SBC are hard to find.

You can buy adapters so you can use perimeter bolt valve covers on center bolt heads.
