Before and after tax returns

Did a little tune up on my 78 a couple weeks ago, what do you guys think? Bought a new air cleaner, MSD wires, new plugs, distributor cap and rotor thanks to my tax returns.

I like it. The gray air cleaner looks good. Does the truck run better with the new plugs, cap, and wires?

The new air cleaner is actually powdercoat black, I didn't want another chrome one because they seem to rust easily. But the truck starts up a heck of a lot better now after the tune up, didn't cheap out on the parts and it made all the difference in the world
