Re: chrome

I bought a chrome valve cover for my 250 on evil-bay.

Re: chrome

You can get a chrome air cleaner at Auto Zone(and similar places). They have an adapter too so you can mount a 4BBL size air cleaner on a 1BBL carb.

This is my '69 292, with an air cleaner and adapter from AZ for the Monojet carb.
