Wanted: 65 Riviera GS Left Valve Cover for CA Emissions Car
« on: April 27, 2016, 04:10:58 PM »
Wanted:

One 65 Riviera finned valve cover. Looking for the impossible here, the CA emissions version for the left side.
There were two of these cars at the BCA Regional last summer in Green Bay. Also need the spark plug wire loom/bracket.
Will buy a pair if available with the right side cover, or trade for a minty set of non-CA finned covers I have.
It will have a push in grommet in the back and an twist in oil cap in the front.

See pics for clarity of what is needed.

Mark, I have one I'll trade, but it does have some corrosion damage on the manifold side. Otherwise, it's in very nice condition... no cracks, ribs and letters are nice with only a few very minor defects. Was cleaned, blasted with fine aluminum oxide, then lightly with glass beads. Original surface texture wasn't affected. Still has wire loom bracket bolt, but don't think I have the brackets.
Unsure if it was for a '64 or '65 since I got a '64 3645 front carb and a '65 3925 rear carb with it.
It's pn 1371139.

More pics.
I was considering repairing the damage with a filler such as 'Lab-metal' or 'All-metal' since both have an aluminum look to them.
