It's been a very long time since I ran those, but I also ran the stems with the removable wing nuts.

If I remember right they are 1/4-20 right?? if they are some off of a 454 91'-5' truck would probably work. it has aluminum valve covers and the bolts have the little "bats" and 3/8"heads. 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.
