Uhhhh, guys.
85's did not have center bolt, late in 86 they switched to the center bolt.
All 85's had the side bolts.

Yep,
Corvette central listed the covers for an 85, however they had the center bolt. Still looking for some new ones. Think Ill hit a couple of junk yards and repaint, shame no one makes the emblem anymore

Mart,
Your project did inspire me to redo the valves in the 1st Place. However my emblem looks really rough. How did you get yours off (dont want to break it) and what did you get to paint it. Also I have a little oil pooling on my right side behind my fuel rail under the TPI manifold. Is this a bad valve seal, or should I be looking at something else???

Mart, It looked like you had the same oil pool like I had per your pics. Did you use the same to paint your Plenium as well???

Striker,
The i very slowly pryed the emblem off with a screwdriver, it's held on with 2-sided foam tape (at least mine was).
I did not paint the plenum I just cleaned it with etching wheel aluminum cleaner.
Not sure what you mean about the pooling oil? got a pic. or a little more specific.
