Which of these Valve Covers will work for my GTA?

I have a 1990 GTA 350tpi. Just want to get some new valve covers for it. Summit has some but which one willl work for my car and whats the differences among them? Also can anyone link me chrome covers without the lines that will fit my car? (ex edelbrock,etc?)

All of those will work on your car. If you are looking for something smooth, you'll have to look at the cast aluminum valve covers. They put the ribs into the steel ones for strength, so that they don't just colapse if you over tighten the bolts a little bit. Aluminum ones are cast thick, so they don't need the ribs.

If you want smooth ones, these polished aluminum ones would look good. They are the Summit house-brand ones.

Heres a better listing of all of Summit's centerbolt valve covers. I looked them up by engine rather than vehicle

Will tall valve covers clear the alternator and AC/smog stuff? Any pictures would be helpful. I am thinking about going with tall to be safe in the future if I were to do some modding. Pictures would be appreciated.
