I like the acorn nuts .

I use the acorn nut covers on some of my engines

. The acorn nuts were popular with the flathead V8s .

They are real good for covering up or hiding head studs and nuts that have been painted , for a fresh or cool look .

The nut covers that I use can fairly easily be slipped off by hand , whenever I may need to tighten or retorque the head .

I' haven't had one of the nut covers slip off and get lost

Packard use to use acorn nuts on some of their engines so I have been told.

If the Packard acorn nuts fit the Ford flathead V8 , they will also fit the model A .
