It's not uncommon for people to have tossed the oil drippers - so your situation isn't unique.

The only variable is how tall those rocker studs are, if standard height valve covers fit, then OE valve covers should fit as well.

There is nothing wrong with cork;
The principal benefit to rubber valve cover gaskets is that they can be re-used.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
