I will likely get some roller rockers like crane gold ones..do they clear under the elite valve covers.I think edelbrock only make the one height one for pontiacs..?? And where do you get pontiac valve cover
wingnuts since the chevy ones don't fit..at least on stock pontiac heads..I assume the edelbrock heads might use chevy bolts for the wing nuts on the valve covers..??

Moroso has the wing bolts & soreaders. Yes they should work unless your running a stud girdle. Edl heads use the same t-bars as stock heads do.

I recently installed Eheads and Elite Valve Covers with H/S 1.65 rockers. The Elite Valve Covers are tall enough but I had an interference problem with 4 of the rockers hitting the indentation in the valve covers where topside bolt holes are. I ended up grinding the corners off of the rockers to get them to fit. The rockers and Elite Valve Covers worked fine on the 6X heads I was using before I got the Eheads so I think it is probably because the valves are slightly repositioned in the Eheads.

They won't fit. Going through this now with roller set up, Edelbrock heads, and Comp. Golds. Purchased spacers. I know this is an older thread, but maybe it will help somebody.
