I did not put the Pcv into the cover.  They were given to me this way.  That is why it's scrap.  There is no way to oil baffle the Pcv the way it was done.  I bet that thing smoked like a cigar!

I have no idea why the spike in interest in these things.   

Tomorrow in going to try and figure out where I put my extra Galaxie fender scripts at, and see what one of those might look like on there.   Speaking of those scripts, do an e bay search and see what those used puppies are going for!   A few years back I bought a set complete with the crown moulding for 9.99 free shipping.   I should have two sets down there if I can find them.   Prices are outrageous right now!

I have at least two sets sitting on a shelf in my shop.  Why anyone would restore a Foxbody that wasn't something rare ('93 Cobra, ASC Maclaren, etc.) is beyond me.  Most of them lost their factory exhaust seemingly on the way home from  the dealership in favor of a pair of Flowmasters.  They were a great starting point stock, but much, much better with at least a few aftermarket bits. 

Or should I stick with these Edelbrock valve covers everyone has?

I like the Galaxie script.

Looks nice on the smooth valve cover.

Ditto on liking the Galaxie script, hope you can get it to fit.

This is the passenger side.  I removed the tube and put grommet c7az-6892 in it's place.  Will also silicone it in.   I'm kind of starting to like the black color.   I smoothe out the bottom of the emblems, and one pic is of the emblems the way it is, the other is the inner lettering blacked out.  I also started thinking about how I'm going to run the Pcv hose.  Since the Edelbrock card has the fitting in front, I'm down to two ideas:  bending some tubing around the left hand side across the back, and straight into the valve with a short hose, or custom bend some hose and run it right down the driver's side.

I think you’re on to something, I like the thought of gun metal grey on the covers and inside the script with the chrome polished up.

Those covers will fit roller rockers as well,

I can see a pair with the Mustang fender script

Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, but if this the passenger side valve cover, and the carb has the PCV tube in the front, wouldn't this make a short hose run to the carb?
Note that Gates makes “90 degree molded hose” in several sizes including 3/8”, that might work for you.

Yeah I meant drivers side.   So It will be in the back of the drivers side.    I thought it might be interesting to try to bend my own hose before I buy some prebent.
