Nice engine bay!

What is the chrome on top of the distributor? Is that a cover or a cap? Who makes it - looks good!

I think it's some old truck with a straight 6. Probably a Fix Often & Repair Daily.

BJ - Buddy, did getting that Ferrari make you a little sloppy with the Vette man? I never would have guessed I'd find Bubba working on your car.

Sorry but I thought that was his Ferrari...........
I was wondering what those relays were for when I first looked at the picture, maybe for the Flux capacitor.

Don't you know, BJ stands for Bubba Johnson, I invented the Bubba, and oh yea, the internet too. Yea, that's the ticket. I guess I could spend some time making the wiring neater, I'll get right on that. Right after the Hydoboost, got all the parts but lines, the batwing, and the Porsche conversion to a six. That should keep me busy this afternoon. Hey, have things settled down here at all? I've been on ferrarichat.com
Hardly any haters there.

I still have a lot of cleaning to do but here is my engine bay picture.

Dean - Maybe it seems boring but that may mean everyone is out working on their cars instead of picking fights.

Sorry 78ADuffy, I was sleeping on the job. The cover is a chromed plastic piece that snaps on to the HEI cover; it locks the plug wires to the distributor.
