Damn the glenwoods are pretty damn nice, but vintage, are you looking for more bling bling like polished billet w/o the fins ? ? Let me know so i can see what i have

maybe it's just that mine is 30 years old but the timing marks suck the threads for the water pump aren't great.
I sale cutting tools for cnc machines so I can have a customer make me a billet one, but if someone is already making something it wuold be the easier route.
thanks

You can buy these from IMCO. They are cast, but a nice looking piece.

Mike Kuhl made a nice billet one for the river rat pump. Kuhl is out of biz so I hear but you might find a used one.
Any cover set up for a fuel injection pump will work with a Kuhl river rat pump. Or you can make an adapter / extenstion to make them work with a Magnaflow pump too. That's what myself and K flat did.

By the way, you do have to establish your own timing marks on the IMCO cover, but you should always check "zero" with any combination of parts that you use anyway. You can use a punch or chisel to put a mark in the cover once you use the degree wheel to find zero.

paul (lakesonly) made some real nice ford ones that have a cover so you can do cam swaps without removing the entire cover. but im betting your looking for chevy stuff. just thought id throw it out there.

His are nice. But they won't fit a magnaflow pump with out an adapter. He made the correct choice and set the covers up for a fuel injection pump.
