Valve Cover Paint Job
BEFORE:

AFTER:

Used a can of wrinkle paint for valve covers (4 coats)
Tried to replicate the D15B valve cover
I think it looks better than it did, what do you think??
I also just picked up some MSD Super Conductor 8.5mm wires

Looks good. Now what you need to do, is go buy a big jug of concentrated simple green, aluminum jelly, aluminum foil (to cover connectors), 1 toothbrush and 2 wire brushes, a handheld steamer, and a garden hose with adjustable sprayer.
Step 1: Take out your battery, cover all of the electrical connectors/sensors/intake with foil, spray everything with 100% simple green (be sure to keep it off your paint), let it sit for 5 minuites, spray it again (soak everything), and then go at it with a toothbrush, get all of the large gunk off, and then use the wire brush on your tranny, head, intake manifold, fuel rail, and any parts you are not worried about scratching.
Step 2: Spray everything off with the handheld steamer, and then hose everything down with the garden hose.
Step3: Carefully apply the aluminum jelly to the head/tranny/intake manifold, scrub it with a wire brush, and rinse off with water. Be carefull with this stuff, as it can eat through gaskets if it is left on for to long. It removes white rust, and other things that degreasers wont get off.
After that your motor will be almost as clean as mine ;-)

i got the msd because i heard better things about them, i paid $75 for the accel, drove around with them for 6 months, returned them to pep boys, then went to advanced auto and got the super conductor msd for $85. so i only paid $10 for them, there isnt really that big of a noticable difference compared to the accel besides the look...
