Well, Its about 40 degrees outside today, so I can't put my intake back on. But I did clean my distributor up real nice. Before, it was pretty much solid black from dirt and oil. I used degreaser and a toothbrush to get all the dirt off. I also polished the outer edge of it. Its not the best polishing job in the world, but it still looks ten times better than before. Not bad for a 20 year old distributor.

Hehe :P Actually im looking around for more small aluminum stuff to practice on. I wish I had some finer sandpaper, I only used 400 and 600 on the distributor.
