RE: Mercury "Lightning" Valve Covers
By Scott - 09/19/2000 9:35:10 PM; IP 24.4.252.6
Yeah I got a set of lightning bolt covers also. This is what I've heard about these valve covers, some of this may be urban legand though.There were suposedly 3 variations. 1) Plain embossed painted steel. These were supossedly put on the 410 maurader motors at the factory to differentiate them from the 390. I've also seen many, many of these in orange enemal paint. But I dont know if this a factory color or someones "tastefull" customizing 2) Plain chrome plate. I have seen several pairs of these at the columbus swap meet over the years, last fall when I questined a seller he replied they were of a 66 S55 merc he had stripped out years back. 3) Black wrinkle paint with chrome script and and chrome lightning bolts. This pair was n.o.s. with the origanal but completely trashed Ford (Mercury) box. Seller claimed that they were a dealer accesary part for Parklanes that was sold over the counter in 1964. Boy would these look stiking with the oval aircleaner. Hope this information helps, Also I just got a 65-74 merc parts book and if I can come up with part#s for any of these I will post them if there is interest.
This thread, so far...
