Proper Original Valve covers
How do I find out the proper and original valve cover style for my ‘58 engine? I’m new to NCRS so not real comfortable navigating this forum.

Jonathan,
Welcome to the NCRS! I would suggest you purchase the 1958 - 1960 Technical Information Manual and Judging guide. It has a wealth of information and will answer many questions along with your valve cover question. You can purchase it in the NCRS Store at the link below.

otherwise, the non-member (higher) price will be showingthx,

Welcome to NCRS and your Tech Board!
As Rick suggested, you've ordered a 1958-1960 Technical Information Manual and Judging Guide (TIMJG).
I suggest you also order a Corvette "Judging Reference Manual" (JRM) - applicable to all years. 9th edition
TIMJG tells you What to Judge.
JRM tells you How to Judge.
Very first section of JRM is an Owner's Advisory. That Owner's Advisory section will likely answer many of your questions about Flight Judging - Preparation, Removal of Parts, our Judging Points System, Disputes, etc.
If your car is unrestored, then you should also read Section 9 (starts page 62) preparation for "Bowtie" cars.
Following "Owner's Advisory" is a "Judges' Advisory" section. Read that and learn what your judges should be doing.
