I love to see/ listen to young kids when I pop the hood on the A. One know-it-all kid told his buddy "It's a Hemi, got plug wires going thru the valve covers". Another inquired as to why a 6 clyinder has 8 plug wires, I asked what made him think it was a 6 and he was looking at the headers. I'm converting my 19 year old step-son. Talked him into trading his Acura for a 71 C-10, he is starting to appreciate the fact we can really work on it. We rewired the truck this weekend, he was amazed the whole thing had less wires then his Acura ECU had by itself. Learned he can even "tune" his carb to make it run better and didn't need a degree in computers to do it!
