Chrome is not my thing. I had this entire engine sprayed in black (like the stock 318 was in '89), stock LA valve covers instead of the Edelbrocks this engine package came with. Trying to keep it as stock appearing as I can. I have no problem using a parts store thermostat housing and painting it black. Even better for the look. I was going to paint the billet one I linked if you guys thought it was good. My main concern was the size I needed for the Air Gap. Scratchin answered that for me; i need the larger '78 and older size. Thanks to all!

I ordered the Mancini CNC aluminum one. I was going to go with parts store steel and paint it black, like the rest of the engine, but I remembered that the last couple of parts store ones I have dealt with didn't seem to have a nice flat surface. Since there is more junk coming out of the parts stores these days, I decided to pay the premium and get the CNC alum one. Thanks all.
