Im guessing the valve covers will go for a little over a hunnerd
and the fuel block I dont have a clue but Ill take a guess and say about 75 clams for that..Hope I dont jinx ya! lol
If the valve covers had the edelbrock script in an arc instead of straight they might go for more and I'd be bidding... Paul

Oh I dunno...the repops that I bought a couple of years back have the curved script.  I don't think you can get the straight script anymore.

A while back i was watching evilbay for a set of the curved script
valve covers and about choked when I saw what they were selling for.
I decided to polish up a set of nos vette valve covers I had been sitting on for the last 20 years.. The moon fuel block is a really nice piece tho, somebody will want that.

Well, here it is, ending day of the auction.  I've go 32 people watching the fuel block, and 27 watching the valve covers.  Should be interesting to see what happens.  Valve covers aren't close to reserve yet, but with no reserve on the fuel block, it could go anywhere.

I just wanted what I had into them, so we'll see what happens.  I'll probably put them up again in a few weeks.  

The fuel block though, that's another story.  Amazing how ebay people will pay more than a part costs new direct from mooneyes.

Prolly cuz Mooneyes has a bad rep lately for NOT SHIPPING stuff out. Plus people want stuff NOW. I am guilty of buying it off ebay and paying more cuz I know it will ship asap.

Bummer ya didnt get what ya wanted for the valve covers.
Im not suprised about the fuel block tho.
 A couple months ago I parted ways with an old stewart warner speedometer, one of those wings style ones. I got enough out of that one part to buy a complete set of new gauges with senders. Crazy world eh? I snagged the speedo at a local junkyard in a SW dash, got all of it for $20, I made out good. $248 for the speedo, $53 for the dashboard itself and auction going now for some of the small stuff..Paul...

Apparently they are more popular this time around.  Now I can get them off my floor.
