in the pics it doesnt look like it has a notch for the alternator if you have the alternator in teh stock location it might need some clearancing on the alternator and the valve cover to fit

Actually you don't need the valve covers with the notch in them. I am running a set of proform crinkle coat tall valve covers. I did some grinding on the back of the alternator to make them fit. I did this after I found a thread on how to make tall valve covers work. I will do a quick search and post the link if I can find it.

friend of mine bought the set, got them powdercoated, really nice quality with no fitment issues, i just like the look of the stock valve covers (painted or coated) over the smooth covers like these, but as far as quality they were nice

I have a set of those sitting in the garage but I exchanged the 2nd valve cover so that it only have one hole instead of two. I never ran them because I switched over the Canton Valve covers. They're up for sale if you're interested. I can also take a picture of them installed on the passenger side it you like.
