Ignition Shielding, It’s Official
It’s Official; I’ve made it difficult to remove the air cleaner by installing the Ignition Shielding box… well not really, kind of, but not really. I thought I would post a picture. This time of the year we all need a picture!
Enjoy

But it is very shiny and that is what matters, isn't it?
These cars are the embodiment of form over function :-p

Hi Rick,
WELL!
That certainly looks nice!!!
I think having THAT appearance is worth any additional effort it takes to get the air cleaner off or to gain access to the distributor.
Regards,
Alan
I generally drop one of the wing nuts on the floor no matter how careful I try to be. (Somehow it always lands under the center of the car so I have to use the broom to slide it out where I can reach it.)

And this is quite depressing as I’ve put a lot of effort into mine over Winter but they sure don’t look like yours Rick.

Your engine compartment is totally awesome!

Yea No not even close to Alan's work, pictures have a way of making things look nicer than they really are.
This forum is always motivating, I find myself going to a higher standard because of what the last guy did.
There's a large amount of members doing a great deal of really nice stuff here.

Hi Rick,
As I said in my post:
"WELL!
That certainly looks nice!!!"
I'm NOT the ONLY person who can make them look good!!!
LOTS of good looking engine compartments here!
Regards,
Alan
