Thread: Valve Covers for my 77 Century

    Help!! My Century has a 350 cid big block with a 2-barrel carb. I am having trouble finding replacement valve covers and my auto parts store, Canadian Tire, has no listing for a car that old. All they list are valve covers for the 3.8 Buicks. I am wondering if 93-96 Roadmaster valve covers would fit. Our junkyards here have almost nothing old left, leaving me grasping at straws. Any suggestions, fellow Buick Nuts???

    Ah... good old crappy tire, always good for nothing...
    You're probably not going to be able to use anything off a later model car due to the fact that big block motors haven't really been used in cars for a long time (early 80s i think)
    The motor in a roadmaster is a small block 305 or 350.
    Try looking at truck motors, Chevy made the 454 for use in their 3500s until '97.
    Otherwise you might have to go aftermarket. I'm surprised Halifax doesn't have a Parts Source yet.
    They're a crappy tire spin off franchise that deals only with parts, and they have a MUCH larger selection of parts to choose from.
    Or you could try Ebay!!!
