They "look" like J&E for the 9.5:1 compression. We used them as the least expensive way to increase the perfomance(along with excellent reliability) with the ...   04-11-2020 03:01 pm

I just had the letters: "J-H" embroidered(in red/carmine to match my car) into the center. With today's equipment being able to scan and then make ...   04-09-2020 04:09 pm

I had a custom set made by Lloyds; the embroider whatever you want in the middle--very happy with them. They have different grades and colors ...   04-08-2020 04:27 pm

Yes, there should be "something" to put the rustproofing on, but I have seen quarter sized holes nicely filed with POR15. After I placed the POR15(silver) ...   04-06-2020 10:23 pm

When you say distributor shaft seal, I hope you're talking about the internal one below the centrifugal weights? This one is notorious for leaking and ...   04-02-2020 10:58 pm

The standard way with the aftermarlket K&N filters, was to use a 1/2" hose on the back of each filter going to a "T" fitting, ...   04-02-2020 05:11 pm

Assume you have pulled the green wire from the back of the tach and push it in & out a few times to slightly clean ...   03-17-2020 09:19 pm

The "voltage stabilizer: controls ONLY the temp & fuel gauges(NOT the tach). If the ground for that is not working, the needle for those two ...   03-17-2020 02:04 pm

yes, the tach must be grounded(this is actually one of the main problems with the fuel & temp gauge: the 10v voltage stabilizer has a ...   03-17-2020 01:51 am

It is possible the green wire entering your tach from the #2(middle fuse--check it) may not be getting any power. The car will still run ...   03-16-2020 10:55 pm

Congratulations; happy you've got it back together in good order. Post some pix of your steed! ...   03-16-2020 02:03 am

Most likely a ground connection; many times on other's cars(as well as my own) I have had to remove the pin connectors and clean each ...   02-29-2020 01:59 pm

The O.D of this is larger than the spotted hole(31/64") and will NOT work as it will get "pushed" onto the main surface of the ...   02-29-2020 01:48 pm
