They mount to studs on the intake manifold and to the fuel rail itself. As long as you have the car intake, you should be ok.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but the pointed studs are on the Coil Brackets for a Corvette and are also mounted on the F-Body brackets, even thou that are not a option to have the covers. ?!?.

Yes, the F-Bodyengines have the studs for the covers.

They are from GM Holden, bought them on eBay from a guy in Australia. He have adds now and then selling them. I think they cost about $100 Australian. If you have seen the ones on the GTO they look the same except the text.
