That's brilliant! i remember back in my early marriage days before i learned. I had just got/completed piecing together a 440 6 BBL set up .. complete intake to breather and brought the whole thing into the bedroom (there were no Man caves back then and if there were I didn't have one) and put the whole setup on my stereo cabinet you remember those .. some of you anyway.
I was standing back and admiring my work and the wife came home and said 'get that hunk of metal out of my bedroom now!' Of course i said "that's not a hunk of metal baby that is a genuine Mother Mopar work of art .. you know like a sculpture. It's a 69 440 6 barrel intake, a set of brand new replacement Holly carbs, brackets, springs, breather, etc, etc,"
She said GET IT OUT OF MY BEDROOM AND DON'T EVER BRING CAR PARTS INTO THE HOUSE AGAIN !!
I complied.
