Please rerout that green wire so it travels along the engine harness under the cooling hoses.

Get a factory airfilter so you get maximum filtration of the intake air, and an additional 40 horse powers

NOTE that black filter is clogging up your intake,
and letting dirt into your engine and thats going to scratch your cylinders.
In addition to that,
you have a 40 horse power loss,
your growth will stunted,
the tomatoes in your garden will stop growing,
and the clothes washing machine will not get the whites as bright as they used to be.

Not trying to be funny, but I cant seem to get anything right lately...
Anyway, I thought the spider only introduced outside air (the air that will carry dirt past the clogged filter and rob 40 horsepower) and did not act as a tuned port injector or throttle body with air/fuel vapors within.
I routed my green wire away from the engine heat so it wouldn't bake as quickly as it would if it were saddled down on the engine block. Is it aesthetics that cause you to direct my mounting it to the harness or is it a technical reason?
I will let you know that the filter seals tight with two lips cradling the cover's edge. I will replace it with my new factory filter so my horsepowers will return and my whites will stay whiter.
Do I get any points for having a original jump post cover?

"but I cant seem to get anything right lately..."

Dont be so hard on yourself..just ask first. Things exist in materials, places, and design for a reason, there is gravity in how things are the way they are. Change is good, but requires enough of its own positive mass to become a solution.

Green wire...

It was fine for 30+ years where it was. It wont last a fraction of that now (even inadvertently) in the way of EVERY action you perform under the hood. The connector is also important to that shielding..
It's a _very important_ shielded cable. Not a "wire". It doesn't want seen or touched. Much less does it reallllly want pinched, either.
A lot of things have to happen at the RIGHT time, for an engine to run. That 1 cable, is part of why those things happen in the right order.
"Jump post cover"

Sure, but where is your 928 612 871 02?
