I'm not going to turn into pl8ster, but I think I need a black plate too.

Looks cool, and the 454 is legendary.
I presume it's RWD, hence waiting for the snow to melt?

It's not the RWD so much (I daily-drove old RWD Volvo wagons on all-season tires for years) as it is I don't want the nice, preserved underside of the truck to start rotting away.

HEY, 454 PEOPLE!
I took the air cleaner off to check and make sure my fixes to the choke actually fixed the issue, and when I pulled out the element, I found this:
Another element!
Is this supposed to be there? It seems to be glued in. I can't ever recall finding two air filters in an air cleaner housing before.

Yeah, that was a "feature" on the full size trucks, starting in the late '70s IIRC. I read (years ago, when I had my '87) that replacing the whole air cleaner assembly with an aftermarket part is worth quite a few hp on the 454. OTOH, you probably don't care what sort of hp that engine is making, and such adjustments do little or nothing for torque. I'd probably leave it, but only because I've never seen evidence that any other arrangement is a real improvement.
