Hello gang! I am still trying to figure out what is causing my front end shake on Freddy. I am pretty sure it is not a tire balance issue, I have had the same problem with three sets of tires - two d

Great idea on that second oil pressure switch controlling the fuel pump! I think I will do that with Freddy. Can you do a little article on the specifics of how you did it - part locations, wire colo

I can't help with the size - I just told them what I wanted them for and they sent me the right ones. The clutch slave takes the same size as the brakes (at least on a 74 Spit) and it works GREAT! So
