lol, my dad used to be the only one who knew anything about cars, but he didnt know a whole lot, but enough to get by...I know have surpassed him. my mom doesnt know squat, same with the little bro(he thinks he does but i think its just a phase.lol) the other day my mom came into my room and said, thats the best looking intake manifold i've ever seen. i looked at her and didnt really know what to say, then she said, see, I'm learning. I couldnt help but laugh since she really had no idea what it was until she read INTAKE MANIFOLD on the side of the box. Anyway, dont worry, i didnt know anything about a year ago, and then i started getting books, like Cars for Dumbies or something like that.lol, best book i've ever read. As for my valve covers, i plan to replace them with the black Ford Racging ones with red lettering:

For aftermarket valve covers, those are pretty clean looking. Regarding if they fit your roller rockers, if you have racing type roller rocker arms and hardware, you may want to call the company first to see if they will clear.

Im getting chrome Fordracing from Summit. I think I might be able to get a discount because I play soccer w/ an executive's son . So here's noobie question number 2: Once I have the valve covers off what else should I do before I put the new ones on. BTW 67t, "no one" is a what your looking for, "noone" isnt a word.

well, you need some bolts, too if you dont get those with the covers, maybe even an oil cap, hell, do gaskets even come with valve covers these days?

As per the Mustangs Plus web description of this product:

"1965-73 289/302/251W. Black finish. Aluminum. Sold per pair."

Hmmm, never heard of a 251W!!! Lol...
