Great product!!
Chris Jones –
I really thought the finish would be better but then again you don’t see much of it.Made really well and comes with gaskets and hardware.
all about the family –
Great Look!
Steve Summers. –
Looks exactly like ones sold at almost 1/2 the price. Only difference it a Eldelbrock logo on this one. I wasn’t impressed. Hardware was garbage. Timing marker had cheap chrome flaking off in the bag. Save your money for another week or so and get a good cover that gives you the fizz. Dont pay more because of a logo. Enough said.
chad hamilton –
be sure to remove all the casting marks inside the cover! a lot of sharp edges.
Chris –

Janet Millan –
Would definitely not get ,I’m returning mine now!looks like some1 tried sanding mine ,has some very deep scratches on it!
Jonathan mathews –
You MUST file the edges on this, IT WILL CUT YOUR SEALS OTHERWISE. Allot of sharp edges around the gaskets, had to file/sand down all the edges. Took 45 seconds so not a bid deal but I was disappointed. Looks good though, and no leaks after the fact
