MW valave covers were never chromed, correct? What should I be looking for in the baffles? There are no wire looms on them. Would they be worth more if dechromed and painted, or are these even worth the trouble? Paul

I heard they came out later, when the 6 bolt heads were being used on the non-MW big blocks.
