You need ALOT of rags. Your engine is really showing its age. Here is what you are looking for:

This is what my L98 looked like about 3 years ago:


This is what it looks like now (Valve covers have changed, though, they're a polished aluminum now):


I'm in the process of restoring it to the condition it was in before I got it, though. That first picture is from my Uncle, when he owned it. He changed the distributor wires and removed the air duct dressings. I'm going to keep the blue distributor wires, but I'm going to dress up the air duct again. All the pinstriping accents were done with a piece of tape, so I'm going over them all with a fine tip paint brush to make them more permanent.

I cleaned my engine up really well when i rebuilt it several years ago.
The valve covers are newer (ZZ4 take off's I got for free and painted)

GI Joe, where is your maf sensor? How did you get that set up to work?

All2kool

His MAF Sensor is still there if you closer.

Here's what it looks like when you like the stock look and want to keep it simple:
BEFORE:


AFTER:


Some duplicolor spray cans and your time and she good as new. I just love the look of the stock intake. Next, after the paint wears out I'm powder coating.

How do you guys get your runners/plenum polished and chrome like that? It looks incredible!

johnash

Here's mine.

Plenum and runners are powdercoated black.

Not a great picture, but it looks good in person!

Calderone

My Plenum looks like chromed but its polished
i want to do the same to the runners
