The only holes that needed to be tapped were the ones in the very front and
very back on my 81 Concord. Since yours is melted away, you should pull it off
and see which ones yours needs. I just tapped the front one on mine and left the
back one without a bolt and it hasn't leaked yet.
I bought the same cover but mine was black. It was around $80 then. I don't
know why the black one is more money than the polished one now but it is.

Plastic Eagle valve cover wanted
Thanks Brian, boy that looks nice, does anyone know if
that will simply bolt up to the head? My concern is that some of them you have
to drill and tap holes, I'm just lookig for something I can slosh some blue
goo, and shove in on there!

Plastic Eagle valve cover wanted
If anyone has a good one for sale, let me know, had a
car fire not once but
twice last night, first car fire I have had
since mid 1970s. Not sure what
caused it but the middle ports below
the carb on the intake were glowing
red, and it set the dried oil
there on fire. I luckily grabbed a pitcher of
water after pulling over
on I-10 and put it out. Decided to drive it home as
it ran fine, but
also took a Tupperware jar full of water again, and right
as I turned
corner at my house it burst into flames again, the whole valve
cover
was melted and the hoses too, so I must have been on fire hauling ass
down Brittmoore at 70mph, luckily no traffic. So have to change oil
now too,
replace the valve cover (anyone have any tips on doing that
on a 82 Eagle?)
and change some hoses. I ran the car after putting out
the fire the second
time, and moved the distributor a little as the
car had been backfiring
recently, but don't know if this is what
caused the fires. After moving the
distributor however it idled and
ran fine and the middle posrts didn't glow,
but hell, oil was pumping
on them and didn't want to run the engine long
with watery oil
either.
So if someone has a good used valve cover email me
directly, and if anyone
has any tips on what caused this mess and/or
how to change a plastic valve
cover on a Eagle, feel free to post away
here! Thanks a lot to all who may
reply.
