427 Baldy Valve covers
By Birchymm - 03/24/2005 3:03:06 PM; IP 137.14.10.22
OK, so I'm surfing through Ebay to see if I can find anything worth while for my old Ford and i see a couple auctions for "Baldy" valve covers. I'm just a young pup and this term is new to me. I have been around old Ford guys for a while and have nevr heard the term. I assume this term is used when referring to FE valve covers with no "Ford" or "Thunderbird" imprints on them. Is there something else that sets them apart from other valve covers? My recent acquisition of 390/427 parts came with plain jane looking valve covers (though I didn't notice any ID numbers on them). Am I to assume that these are "Baldy" covers? They are going for a pretty penny on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...sspagename=WDVW

I didn't give them a second thought and was just planning on replacing them or maybe using my cool Gold Thunderbird covers as incorrect as that may be, i just like the looks of them. There is also a 63 427 being auctioned and he also made references to the Baldy covers.

Can anyone shed some light?
