When Mr Gasket discontinued them around 1980, I bought all they brought to Super Chevy in Indy. Sold all of them within the next few swaps.

If I recall, these are for display purposes only, or to use as a diagnostic tool to see something in your valvetrain. I've never seen any of these clear valve covers that had a provision for an oil fill cap or breather. The version in the E-Bay ad (top of this thread) appears to have been modified for a dummy breather for show purposes.
