I already have the valve covers. Just need caps for each side... One I need to have with a pipe that goes up to the TB vent, and the other just needs a cap with no ventilation. I'm wondering if a GM cap would work on it.



Might need to cut these baffles out for my 1.71's (93 Cobra).

 

Nice. That GM oil cap from the old sbc's would work perfectly, but in chrome to match. It's unvented and has an inner gasket seal.

 

Thanks AK. Looking at this one... it has a rubber seal, rather than paper.

 

This valve cover talk got me to remembrin'... Do you still need VC bolts, Whitey?

 

Right now I just have the stockers in there. I was going to try and turn up something better for these covers. I'm still battling in my head which direction to take on the oil caps though. Found a few different styles. I'd rather whatever I get to be polished... but I keep turning up chrome.

 

Dang, a cod fish!

 

BTW- good morning thinkers!- White- didnt those motorsport valve covers have a regular twist in breather cap that had the motorsport logo on them? ( i briefly considered some for my old cobra 2 back in the day) man, that stuff could be hard to find now!
Gotta get started, fellers! TTYL!

 

Yes, they are pretty hard to find now. Ford got into some troubles with BMW over using the Motorsport name, and they can no longer use it. There's a guy I follow on IG that collects all of the old FMS stuff. He has some really great finds!

If these came with the twist on stuff, my friend didn't have that stuff anymore. He says he might have bolted them on a motor, but they've never been ran before.

 

This is pretty cool... at the end of this video, Paul does an interview on a "talk show". They briefly mention "Stirrin' Dirt", which is the guy I've done some derby timing for in the past.

 

This is a replacement for a post that I didn't like.

Ever wonder what ever happened with Amazon (among others) drone delivery service?
Amazon got FAA approval Aug. 2020 to start the service but it never started. Why?

Birds. Another war on birds and the birds won again.
Some birds were attacking the drones, some were just flying along and getting sucked into them. I feel in a bird strike with a Canada goose the drone may not win.
Also, even if the drone does win who want a get a box with bird guts and blood all over it.

Now you may read that the issue is the turnover of people in the program but who wants to be in a program that isn't going to look good on the resume?
Imagine this line: Spent 4 years in the songbird slaughter program.

I truly believe that if anyone can find a solution though it will be amazon.

All this info is unofficial from people who left the program, so it could all be fired people making excuses.
