Is that a 30-WIRE alternator???
Also, is something not grounded behind your distributor? There is a black wire just laying across that braided line, not connected to anything. 
Personally....If that was my engine compartment I would not dare post pics of it. There are wires all over the place. WE all know you are NOT a "poser" but you do not have to be a "poser" to have your electrical wires neat, organized, & safe.
The ONE thing most important you should have, and you don't... a FIRE EXTINGUISHER !!!

BTW - are you running braided 1/2 inch line all the way to the back or are you using a metal fuel line somewhere on the way to the back?

Some very nice valve covers in this thread. Makes me want to go hide mine.

Oliver – is that smaller blue line on the pressure valve a fuel return?
I like the no cover look
