It's kinda hard to believe that they stuck the distributor in before the manifold and valve covers when they painted.
A long *** time ago it was popular to paint your engine electrics red.
Kinda ghetto simulated MSD.
Every time I have ever seen it since, reminds me that it was so prevalent that now MSD color looks ghetto to me.
Kinda suck really, as in reality I know MSD is good stuff and in my mind got ruined by a guy with a can of red spraypaint 30 years ago.
Go figure.
