I have also used allen head cap screws before on my M/Ts and they looked nice. besides they stayed pu and didnt turn like the stems and wingnuts did

its looking pretty good
Pontiac valve cover fasteners are 5/16-18. I made some out of 2-1/2" long (or close to that) stainless socket head cap screws with stainless tube spacers. Easy access and not as 'in your face' as the tall wing bolts.

The car is really looking good Jerry, keep the progress reports coming.
