i have some trickflow valve covers that i got from a friend.There is 2 holes on 1 valve cover and 1 hole on the other.I know one hole is for the oil filler.But what can i use to plug the other holes.I know i can get a breather but will that clear my cobra intake?

Also can i get a stock oil filler and use that on the trickflow valve covers or do i need the trickflow oil filler?What are good valve cover gaskets and are gaskets any different for using edelbrock heads?

Her is the pic Of the VC i have

Well that is really strange..lol. I don't know why anyone would put 3 holes in their valve covers. But I would put them on and see which one you want to use the oil filler on. Then get a oil fill kit from trickflow and put that one there with the supplied gromet (assuming he drilled the right size).

Then for the other 2 holes, I would have take some 16th or 32nd sheet aluminum and cut out some cool designs (maybe a ford logo or some naked chic) and have someone spot tig'ed on place (cover the hole cosmetically only). Then make a cover for the inside of the VC to seal it and tig it shut.

The one on the left is a breather cap plug. I'd call and make sure that the part # is correct.
