RE: That's them!!

You found 'em Barry! And like you I don't know what they came off of. They don't look like the ones in the HP supplement of the '65 390 PI that Mr. F provided. And those in Mr. F's provided pic look like what I remember the '66 428PI looking like. Very similar to the '65-'66 Mercury tall covers.

The ones I'm looking at look just like the pic you've provided. A pcv/breather hole w/grommet in the middle and oil fill provision on what would be intended as the right(pass.) side which is not too common since most FE covers provided the intended oil add hole to be on the left cover. Although I know it doens't matter which side you add oil. I run two left side tall Mercs on my 390 with a '66 chrome 390GT twist in cap on the driver side of my F100 and a '70 chrome Boss 302 twist in breather w/pcv valve on the right side. Makes it twice as quick when adding oil during the change.

From the pics it does look like the covers you're showing are taller than the '65-'66 low standard style pentroof covers that were common to 352 & 390s during those two years. Is that right? But still they're very similar in style to the low pents, right?

BTW, I'm sure most know that the low pentroofs of '65/'66 were not compatible with adjustable rockers. They looked very nice dressed in chrome on the '66 Fairlane/Cyclone GTs.

Anyone have a clue on what these valve covers that Barry has provided were designed for? They might be great shop wall deco. They'd be on my living room wall but ..... we just celebrated our 33rd anniversary and I've learned to make a lot of compromises.
