I also bought some MSD Spark Plug Wire seperators to clean up my spark plugs (and maybe cure a crossfire problem)

Kool! It will be a marked improvement. You can add some braided hoses and a chrome alternator too while you're at it. :D

Well, I just put a NEW alternator on (so it's shiny and clean) and I got a chrome alternator bracket. As for the braided stuff...I'm going to use the slip-on stuff. (But I only have like 2 or 3 hoses to cover! LoL!)

Man if your planning on using it on your radiator hose then think again!! I tried for days trying to slip that crap on it and it was a joke! They make it sound like its easy but it's not.

I think that it would help alot as well. One thing I love about upgrading is somethings that I am able to change out I can resell at swap meets for the large items and if not here Ebay for the small items :)

I used the slip on stuff on my Cutlass. Wasn't too hard at all. Compress it all together, slide it on, and then start pulling it back out.

The only problem I have is how the heck you clean this crap. I just installed a new braided line for my fuel line and the old stuff is really grungy looking now next to the new stuff.

Naw, haven't gotten the new valve covers yet. I should get them in a few days, then I'll put it all together and take a few pics. The headers will still look like crap though :( Ohh well, next year I'll get the coated Dynomax's for $200 (the G-body ones).

Cant wait to see what it looks like on the engine i was thinking of getting a set of those valve covers.

pssst :wire loom those plug wires: heheh will look mucho better :D

Oh yeah you might also need a spacer for the air cleaner unless you bought the right one unlike me. They where at autozone and I didnt think about the different drop bases and turned out I needed one.

Chrome is out.... Aluminum is nice is you like shiny.

Just my opinion.

kinda reminds me of the look i had on my motor at one time.....

:D

I will never understand...why advertise a mnfr's name for free? You have to pay full price for valve covers/air cleaners with their name/logo all over it...why can't they give you a discount? I bet the executives laugh all the way to the bank..."Hey Frank, can you believe people will buy our stuff and advertise it all over the place...we make money for doing nothing!".

Just my .02 :)

BTW - less is more, it is the details that count.
