Pic Request - Post Your Engine Bay!

Ugly or not, post up your current engine bay!

If anything, this will be a great reference for people with messed up engine bays like myself.

My 1980 California Emissions Compliant 4.9 300 I6. Note that my truck may have an unusually high number of vacuum hoses, most likely due to the California Emissions Package in 1980.
