Edelbrock Valve Cover Question

I want to purchase the signature series edelbrock valve cover for my 86 trans am, but I think it only comes with the 2 PCV valve holes and thats it. What about the oil filler hole? Would I have to drill out a whole for that?

I wouldn't chance messing up those covers by drilling them, you can always pull the PCV valve and pour the oil in there, it won't hurt anything. just use a small tip funnel.

I have the Edelbrock Signature covers. I put the pcv on the pass side and a breather on the drivers side. I just pull the breather to fill up the oil.

The 89+ cars with the alternator and PS on the drivers side will touch on the VC

take my word for it.. even reclocking the alternator will cause it to touch on the back of the alt at the positive terminal
