K Head Valve Covers

[Bigdoggg70]

Anyone familiar with these Valve Covers? I've never seen any with "Spirit" on them.

Cant say Ive ever seen anything but OEM steel or MT aluminum valve covers for the K head

Yes. Me either. I have a set of the Aluminum M/T but never seen anything with Spirit on it. These are Aluminum as well. Figured maybe someone knows a little history on these.

Pretty sure my 65-66 era Hot Rod magazines have dragsters with those covers on them. Original from that era I bet.

Thanks. I'll have to look in a few of my old mags. Just never seen spirit on anything.
