Thanks guys. I'll paint if I do anything to the pipes at all. Here's an odd-ball idea too: a small pipe running from the upper grill directly to the distributor to blow ram air onto the distributor during driving. More directed and smaller than a grill opening and therefore maybe more effective in cooling the distributor and less likely to reduce the WAI's effects. Not worth it?
