pro/stock made tools and other various parts such as intakes and valve covers. they were sold in department stores in the 70's. i have a set of those valve covers also
My neighbor has them on his sbc in O/T late 70's(metric) more door caprice, funny coincidence. I assumed they were late '70 or '80ish pieces, not sure, but don't know who makes 'em. That didn't help at all, but those are pretty clean.
I first started selling those in '74 they were available thru several Performance Warehouses as a generic low cost alternative, they also offered a line of plug wires and headers the quality was actually quite good and comebacks almost never existed.At the time Eagle Specialties was making the headers and I was told the valve covers were cast at the Weiand foundery,the plug wires were yellow with the exception of the printing on the jackets they looked like the early Accel SS wires.They seemed to fade away out of existance around 80-81.
I'm think it was "Paul... somebody" that made those. They only made sbc and FE Ford covers if I remember correctly. The FE's were taller pentroof style covers that cleared roller rockers nicely.
It wouldn't surprise me if they were cast by Weiand ,as JeffB2 indicated, because they look identical to my Weiands except for the name.
It wouldn't take much to make 'em look old. Polish and get a set of breathers to cover the disco era lettering.
You're thinking of Paul Bedoian of Pro Stock Engineering...a controversial figure, to put it mildly. So far as I know, his company, now defunct, was not the same one as the company that made the covers. Bedoian's stuff was always labeled PSE. He owns a little repair shop in San Jacinto last I heard. The Pro/Stock cover logos were just a marketing thing by somebody, kind of like the Ansen stuff made today with "SS396" or "Baldwin". http://www.ansenusa.com/
Nah...I've heard a number of people who made the same connection, a natural one. PSE made...or perhaps more accurately put, designed some neat products- aluminum blocks and some hard-core racing pieces . Problem was getting him to actually make the parts and ship them.... I've always wanted to have covers like those, but saying "Dumb/Shit" or "Dumb/Ass" or something else equally stupid, just to see peoples' expressions when the hood was opened.
I have a set of Weiands that look exactly like those with the exception of the logo. Weinad would be in place of Pro/Stock. Mine are also wrinkle finish black with the top of the fins brushed. Frank
I did a thread about mine a couple years back, maybe searching would give you more input than what is allready given. I bought mine seperate one with black wrinkle paint and the other plain.
