Yes, as you can see, I'm restless. I thought I'd got really creative with my 'under hood' shot, but got seriously flamed by Robbo, who stated (rightly) that it looked like it should have had "Airfix" stamped on it.
Sadly modern GM product has gone the way of many european marques, in shrouding everything in plastic and faux carbon fiber. Ricardo and I once had a '68 Cutlass and under the hood was all fire-belching Rochester Quadra-jet, header pipes and polished rocker covers. It looked the bollocks, even though the body was falling off it.
Your car is the same. Lift the engine cover and you're presented with what looks like an industrial strength hair dryer with a domestic AC filter screwed to the top of it.

Matt, below your message, in the attach box use browse and pick the file to upload. Don't Preview though as this seems to f**k it up.
Alternatively, e-mail to me as on my post and i will upload it.
