Title: valve covers
Post by: 427Fastback on March 27, 2020, 07:46:13 PM

Jay..(or any one who knows)..do your valve covers use the same thread size fittings as the Holman Moody covers (cast by Blue Thunder).I am in search of a screw in plug/blank and Lee Holman tells me he has them on order but it could be a while.He is waiting for valve covers as well...

I don't think they are the same thread, but I'm not really sure, I don't have a set of Blue Thunder covers to compare with.  My covers use a 1-1/2 X 8 thread.

I haven't put a pitch gauge on mine yet but they are 1 1/2 dia..I may just weld the filter whole shut one assembly so at least they all match.
Thanks..

I have a pair of both BT and FE Power valve covers, and just compared the threads. While the diameters are similar, the threads are different. The BT covers use a finer thread.

There is some old stuff on "The Ponysite" in Germany.Wolfgang has my 68 listed in his favorites.My 67 is on there as well in the Trans Am stuff.
There is also some old stuff on the Mustangsandmore site..I am a life long Mustang guy but grew tired quickly of the pissing contests on most forums.
Very little has been posted since I did the rotisserie job on it..Not hiding it....just been busy.I have it all documented tho.....Cory.
