'66 428 PI Valve Covers?
By Mike McQuesten - 12/03/2002 10:45:37 PM; IP 63.191.225.207
Does anyone have a set of '66 428 PI Valve Covers that they could share some pics of?
I've seen 'em. In pictures and looking under the hoods of Washington State Patrol Cruisers when the troopers would pull in to buy some Ethyl (with TCP! ...whatever that was?) at the Shell station I was working pumping fuel/changing oil at back in '66.

But now I can't find those pics and can you believe it? I can't find a '66 428PI car/engine! I do remember how similar they were to the 427 tall pentroofs of '65 & later but the PI v-covers had a breather and oil fill holes.

BTW, wouldn't the '65 390PI have had a similar or same set of valve covers as the '66 428PI? I know that the '67 & later got the Power by Ford covers.

Why am I asking? Okay, I'll confess that there's a guy who has a strange set of FE covers and I'm thinking too much about them. I can't id them. They've got an oil breather-PCV provision on what looks like it could be the left side(driver) right in the middle just behind the plug wire tab. The right side has an oil filler tube near the front in front of the plug wire tab. This would take a push in oil fill/breather cap. And they're tall sort of pentroof looking.

Might these be early/mid sixties FT covers?

I'd like to know before I start reaching for my wallet.

Thanks.
