I am however curious on what you did to get the pattern. Is that front and rear?

You know what normally I would just agree, but this time I have to bring up the question. How often do adapters fail? Is it dependent on different metals? As a rule of thumb I've known not to use them, but I've never seen any hard facts on not to use them. I wanna see numbers and charts and pictures damnit!

I think he has two MSD's, one for leading, one for trailing. Are there two others somewhere else?

How do u latch your hood it looks like you removed the latch. Do you have pins, or just let it flap. nice mounting on the holley regulator and pressure gauge. Very nice overall ride. A+

peace

Exactly...here is some hard proof for you...read the text under the pics of the spacers themselves...HKS, and we should all know who they are by now, also markets street spacers...I think this category will probably also fall into the same as the CenterForce clutch failure myth/lie...

So that's one real street testimonial in favor of the positive side of spacers...now we need a first person experience of someone who has actually suffered a spacer failure to balance or refute this experience...no "friends" or "I know someone.." or " I heard about" crap...we can all make that kind of stuff up all day...

Any possibility that you could share your source for the spacers and how much they where?

Thanks
