Thanks Alvin, I think that's the real definition of "muffin top".
Got a lot more done today. The distributor and carb have been installed and the plug wires have been finished out and look nice and neat. I used the repop wire looms bought from Inline Tube I think and they work and look great. Also, I got lucky and the preheater elbow on the ThermAC does not contact the valve covers despite the billet spacers. One less thing to deal with is appreciated. It won't be long until we light the fire on this thing and see what it will do. I can't wait.
Here's a few pictures.
