Hot Hemi heads. You don't need the set for the solid lifter adjusters like the 315 56 D500 does. Your's should be the "standard" 325 hemi ones.

" Tired of hunting for a useable pair of wire covers for your Dodge Hemi? We now have a supply of both the standard Dodge wire covers as well as the D500 style for Dimpled valve covers.
P/N 21509 Standard Dodge wire cover pair with hardware $ 43.75./pair"

I contacted Hot Hemi Heads. They are sold out of the wire covers.

I'm still looking if anyone has a lead on spark plug wire covers for a 1957 D 500

Thanks Bob

Desoto covers probably won't work because the Desoto heads were different than the Dodge and therefore the bosses for the three screws won't be the right location. Okay one of the could be but the others will not be.

Yup! Chr, Desoto & Dodge wire covers are all different, as is the valve covers they go on.
