Angelucci Hold Downs- Valve Cover That Clears?

yellow rose said
You might try some thicker valve cover gaskets. They make them. Seems weird the hold downs are what's hitting. Are they hitting the stands for the PCV baffle or something??

Not hitting the baffle.
Two of what I have is 3/8". Almost enough. Can't find the thicker gaskets. Any idea who makes them?

Expensive but it will do the job! Top is for Magnum and bottom is for LA motor.

Nice, way nicer than my Edelbrocks and too pricey. Thanks.

I had the mopar perf. covers hit a set of pro comp hold downs, u can machine / file the upper corners of the end hold downs , on a taper to not weaken them------- no biggie !

Considering this. I'm going to clay them. It doesn't seem like it is much.

Had the same problem with hold-down blocks. The early stamped 273 Commando covers cleared nicely; we had to modify the inside baffles a bit but I think that was for the rocker adjusters. Regular 318 stamped valve covers might do it too, but we did not try them.

Maybe a cheapie set of chrome stock type will work.

Angelo (Angelucci's) got back to me. He doesn't remember a clearance problem. He's going to look into it.
