The past couple days

Over the past few days I turned my attention to the engine, removing, cleaning and painting parts - I came across a few surprises but nothing horrific.

The color scheme coming together, that intake manifold was days of wirebrushing and sanding - apparently it was hot pink and high heat primer under the black top coat. I stripped it down and painted it cast alum.



Under the HEI cap I found these bare wires when doing a simple tune up, actually wrapped around each other and definitely touching - I can't believe this thing ran at all let alone so well.
