GM center-bolt valve covers

This is a set of GM center-bolt valve covers used on '87+ small block Chevy engines. They are a little dirty, but with some light sanding and paint they'd look brand new.

I'm asking $10 for the valve covers, plus shipping.

Thanks for looking!

Is this a set with the oil fill near the front of the passenger side?

It's been awhile since I last had them on a vehicle, so I don't recall for sure. However, I'd venture a guess and say yes, the oil fill is on the front passenger's side. The bolt pattern on the cover with the fill hole appears to be the exact opposite of another set I have, which has the oil fill near the rear driver's side.

If you can confirm, I'd like these, but I think you're right.

edit - Do you take pay pal?

Unfortunately, I don't have a set of center-bolt heads to check for sure.

Check out the picture below. The upper shot is another set of center-bolt covers I have, bolted to the driver's side of the engine. I added little circles to show a frame of orientation with the gap in the ribbing. It almost seems like these valve covers would give a rear passenger's side oil fill hole... just spin it 360° around the motor.
