My engine bay.....after a little work.
 

When I got this car it had mice living in the fan shroud, about 2 inches of debris ontop of the intake, and missing just about everything that was ever origional to a 73 L-82 corvette. Now after a year of hunting down parts and cleaning, and tuning I have an engine bay that is somewhat presentable. I still have to get the origional alternator restored to give it more of a stock look. I only spent $600.00 canadian to do all this and that included a set of headers, an origional air cleaner and restoring a 73 L-82 carb to like new appearance. What do you guys think? I know it's not perfect but it will do for now.

Looks great!!! Did the '73 has the chrome shields on the side of the dist.?

If your refering to the shields that cover the distributor wires, yes it did have them in chrome. I have them, but need to get some new wires and cut them to length or else they won't fit.
