Replaced valve covers and air cleaner. Got new spark plug wires and rerouted them to clean things up. Pretty happy with the results.

I have always liked that dress up kit. It looks even better on your ride. Great job!

That looks great! Very nice, clean, engine compartment.

Thanks, wouldn't have figured those would give you such a clean look. I'll be getting those in my next summit order.

looks great! And those battery toppers are awesome, I have one too. I bought it and it for a batt in my 65 Impala (sold) but kept the batt topper at least - when I went to put it on my truck, the top posts didn't line up with the holes. LUCKILY, that battery was old and almost dead anyway - so took it to the store with me to pick out the batt based on what would fit it. Moral of the story - the tops of all batteries aren't the same... (Duh, but I learned the semi-hard way)

I like the after much better. Adds some class under the hood.

cheap rubber gas lines burns up good stuff

Looks great are you concerned about the wires touching the headers at all?

They're close but with the way everything is routed nothing touches.
I bought a set of Protect-A-Boots for a little piece of mind, but they're very bulky and a couple of them were laying right on the headers (even with shorty spark plugs) so I ditched the idea.
