    Giggity goo. Y'all have such pretty engine bays. I'd post Betty's, but it's all stock. And on a black car, not really much to see. Well, I did sandblast the valve cover 3 years ago. It has stayed relatively clean since.

    My throttle body's body really needs to be cleaned - badly. So much corrosion! Stupid previous owner parked her in a mud puddle and I have to replace or restore everything under the hood. I scrounge bolts at pic-n-pull to fix up my precious. Yup, I'm a hardware whore. Don't people know that it is bad to let their car rot?!

    I don't have much to contribute...I know my plug wires are missing, this was right after painting the valve cover.

    Just finished installing it yesterday, need to wait for t bolt clamp and few stronger hose so it won't leak. And yes the racing beat intake does make it look funny and the way its bending, not a lot of cold air. I will be changing it later after fixing the leak.

    I did grind off the "16 DOHC..." lettering off one side of the valve cover. Gives it a longer appearance, much different with the cut valve cover.
    it looks really cool

    atank, you should do a red interior swap on your car, it would look sweet
