    Changed plugs cap rotor and a small leaking valve cover gasket and swaped out exhaust manifolds. one side done and one side left to do. It doesn't take much for a yellow engine to look dirty.

    Very nice looking Mr dix. What are your manifolds off of, or, where'd you get them?

    Rebar the manifolds are from a mid 70's 360 pickup. put a wanted ad on craigslist and ebay classified and had them in a week. cleaned them up and painted them with header paint.
