    1962 tall or short valve covers

    I have a 62 with the stock 390 fe. I am looking for new valve cover. All of the good looking ones are tall. Will a tall valve cover fit under the master cylinder or do I need short ones?

    Why make and sell covers that don't fit?
    Why do you want to change your valve covers?

      They might fit a 390 but they might not fit in the car. If they are too tall then they might hit the break booster.

      Need to change them because the new manifold that I got does not have a road draft tube and it also doesn’t have the provision for the oil filler tube that sticks out of the manifold. So I need valve covers that have holes for the oil fill cap/breather and a pcv valve for venting my crank case. I wanted a new manifold because the old one was pretty rusted inside.
