Can't hardly see the spot welds from them on a painted valve cover anyway . Not much other reason for needing drippers , is there ?

The drippers are there for a reason...just like same the slotted rocker balls. Been there, done that, learned the hard way...story of my life! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, I *think* we have a set of those valve covers, that came off of a '66 L-72 we bought from the left coast. They are currently on the Nova's engine on the stand, but I'll take a look tomorrow.
