YES! I ran these on my 383 too for a long time...I have a new set of MP black wrinkle finish covers in the box.... I still opted for these old school ones though...luv them...

It's funny those valve covers are mentioned, I have a SB set that I am refinishing right now for my desoto. I bought them in the junkyard about 2 years ago for $12 8943]

Bah... they are highly overrated

Mike (67440Dodge) was only kidding about the M/T valve covers being over rated, as he ran them on his Coronet for years before his recent engine rebuild and swap. Those valve covers that he bought and was using on his car were then shipped out to me where I repainted them Hemi Orange and had all of the fins and M/T logos polished to match the color of my 440, so M/T valve covers never die, they just get passed around between friends and keep making people happy forever!

You might want to be careful using phrases such as "in the day" and "old school", as some of us were around when our Coronets and those M/T valve covers, Cragar mags, Sun tachometers and other "vintage" parts were brand new and first released!!!
