Re: radiator fan shroud

It seems to work well although I haven't tried a long trip yet ( it is still hovering around 100 degrees F in Texas). I will be road tripping to Boston next month so will see how it goes. ...

The Pertronix ignition is a very dependable uni,t I have used it for years on a variety of vehicles (even my forklift). Normally failures are due to overheating caused by the ignition switch being left on for an extended period without the motor running. Often this will cook the ignition and coil. T...

Re: SP250 Air filters
