PAW sells some plain chrome ones, or you could switch to Fiero aluminum ones.

you could also:

a) clean your current ones up & chrome them

or

b) polish them up like I did mine

The only prob with the Edelbrock VC's is that they don't have the oil baffels that help keep to much oil from going through PCV system.

But they sure do look nice... If you're going to use them and they have no baffles, I'd say to hell with the PCV system and install a breather, and plug the manifold return fitting. If you don't like to bypass things....well, neither do I.....but when you go to clean your throttlebody and find oil film on everything, and inside your idle air valve and on your throttleblade.....well you might change your mind.

Watch my step??? Not me. There only words, bring 'em on!!!

I can't bypass the PCV system for smog reasons. They wont let you pass uless it is hocked up and working.

knight75,

They look nice, but the baffels I was talking about are on the inside. Can't tell from the outside if they are there or not.

Project,

So when you are running VC's with ou the baffels you don't get excess oil going through your intake. There is aready enough going back in with the baffels in place.
