I cleaned the engine a little bit

[dmjlambert]

I decided it was caked up with oil and dirt more than I care for, so I cleaned the carburetor with carburetor cleaner, then covered the carburetor, distributor, and alternator with plastic bags and used Gunk and a power washer to clean up the engine. The breather was installed while getting it wet, and I removed it now so I could give it a shot of paint. Finished up with some 409 cleaner and clean rags on the valve covers. I think it looks pretty great for a daily driver.

Check out the weird markings on the radiator support. I cleaned up that area and gave it a shot of clear paint and avoided doing anything further to that strip when I painted the rest of the radiator support with black paint. I wanted to preserve that weird thing. I kind of like it.
