Yeah, it sucks. Edelbrock released their finned aluminum valve covers in everything, including AMC and Pontiac but no Olds. I have the Edelbrock version of the old M/T aluminum valve covers. Mine were PIA to seal. I had to glue on a set of the discontinued rigid carrier Felpro Permadry valve cover gaskets. Hopefully you can find a set, otherwise chrome or fabricated available new. The Offy ones like great, still made occasionally but are stupid expensive as well.

Seemed to have a pretty decent pricing compared to some of the others.

Sorry. I zipped through and missed they mixed in other stuff. Looked on Moon’s site but nothing.
Out of stock but can watch for them. https://www.carid.com/spectre/short-valve-cover-set-mpn-5278.html?singleid=2904423246&url=12294226
