Title: Vintage Valve Covers - Who made these?
Post by: number3 on September 12, 2012, 08:44:36 PM

Going through a box and found these.  No manufacturer name of any kind.  Only the stamping Japan 769 on the inside of both which I assume is the country of mfg and possibly the date?????

Any idea's? 

Sorry for the crappy picture.  Digital camera batteries died.  Cel phone takes pictures that look good from 50 feet away.
