What do you think of these clear valve covers?

Those clear valve covers are cool!  You can see your high tech rockers, stands, and pushrods, tell the condition of the oil, and check for problems under the valve covers without unbolting anything!

Those things suck!  I wouldn't be caught dead with those on my engine.  Throw 'em in the trash, along with the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, the Veg-a-matic, and the Ginsu steak knives!

In that same link Jay where you saw the pic a poster noted that the original PSE
tooling was up for sale:

Those do look like a different shape versus the PSE. I have had a set of NOS PSE clear valve covers with the aluminum hold down flanges, or whatever you want to call them, for about 10 years now. I guess I am afraid to put them on? Might drop the value, not that I want to sell them (I don't).
68 Cougar XR7 GT street legal, 9.47@144.53, 3603# at the line, 487 HR center oiler, single carb, Jerico 4 speed, 10.5 tires, stock(er) suspension, all steel full interior

I saw those also. I also do not think they look like the PSE, which looked more rounded. I want to be first to offer my assistance in street testing the valve covers on my Galaxie. I have it back together and hope to do a bunch of cruses and shows with it this year! Let me know if I can help, and thanks Jay.

Since I collect FE valve covers, those would be a must have.

Looks like they have a metal base ring as well, probably a good idea to help them keep shape.
