Default how tall are stock valve covers?

Trying to make a decision about something. I have some tall (3" i think) blank valve covers on my 414 and I love the look of them but found a set of Pontiac laser etched covers that are 1 3/4" I have always wanted a set but the height i am concerned with but for appearance only.

Cant help with measurements but if the Pontiac covers aren’t tall enough you can always run spacers and get the look you want. If you’re running factory rocker arms I doubt you’ll have any issues though.

yeah it was a look not a clearance issue, I ended up measuring my oe ones on the GTO roughly since they were still on the engine. .75 ish depending on what portion you decide is the tallest. so these were taller, but I never heard back from the place that makes them so not sure if they are still in business or not?
