Default Need a timming cover welded
Its a new 95 LT1 cover, need the wp hole welded closed so I can run a Gen I double roller. Looking for some in Houston to do it.

I have seen people mention that, either way is fine. May run down to the auto parts store and find one the correct size

I used a quarter and JB Weld. I used an Indiana quarter, you know the one with the Indy car on it. Vroom vroom!
