At SEMA last year, Holley announced the re-release of the old school Mickey Thompson valve cover series. Here is the link to the new valve covers:
 
 
BBC polished covers are retailing for about $160
BBC black krinkle covers are about $140
SBC covers are roughly $150 polished, $130 krinkle
Much cheaper (and cleaner!) than vintage covers... when they are available!
 
As with everything FORD, they are delaying FOMOCO introduction pending customer interest. Everyone interested call Holley tech line (270-781-9741) and tell them to start making them for the Blue Ovals!!

no it sometimes compacts long URL's when you paste them but still work
it's probably just a cliche or something got left off in the copy and paste mode.
I have had to recopy and paste again some links and then they work but don't the first time.
I now often click on the links after I post them to check to see if it works as had  them not work in the past so I just check after but no biggie i'm sure you will get it figured out.
Just wanted to see what the black wrinkle look like as I don't recall them being available like that back in the day and only the bare aluminum.
I was going to buy a used set and have them powder coated with black wrinkle but if they are going to make them new I might wait as the originals cost as much or more then what they are going to sell the new ones for.
