Default After 3 hours under the Hood
She is clean! The previous owner said he had never cleaned up under the hood so you can imagine what it looked like, but all beter now!

I polished the fuel rails, intake fins, and the A/C evaporator and asmall bit of line

You should find $40 and buy some over the valve cover looms for your wires.

You might have some trouble doing just the looms, those wires are going to be waaay long.

That's an e-bay elbow, IMO they are just as good as any other.

Really makes me want to get mine back together...

400, 800, 1000, and then Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish. i did everything when still installed, so they could look better
