Yup, I know it. Not sure if there are any similar places close by you or not but I picked up a set of Appliance caps from Hubcap World in Portland. Thought maybe if you were in the Vancouver area it'd be local-ish.

Couple salvage yards that I haven't been unfortunate enough to have to dig around in. Mostly when I'm looking for something cool and unusual I surf Craigslist and Ebay.
Going to have to measure to see for sure but I think they are a common size, probably just find something cheap on the web that fits them and doesn't look terrible.

Buick 455? I request pics.
This is before and during the work, I'll have to get another pic to show what it looks like now. (way better, when I had everything off the engine the parts all got cleaned and repainted) I had to replace the timing cover, oil pump, cam, and distributor gear, and while I was into it I pulled the heads to swap those to a better set of earlier heads that I had machined and had stage 1 valves and aftermarket springs installed in. The aftermarket parts all came from TA Performance, the cam is a TA 413 (Crower, 234/244 dur @.05, .500 valve lift) I'll try to get an "after" picture posted tonight or tomorrow.
