This Hi Rev distributor performed flawlessly on the approx 1000 mile round trip to Southern CA and back.
Easy starting, smooth running, no misfires, always had spark.
Better cold idle, better low speed performance.
SCORE !

I am not going to claim that Police are perfect but it has been my experience that every time that I have been cited, I was guilty of something.
Speeding, following too close, failure to stop, vehicle too low, expired registration, loud exhaust. bald tires, cracked windshield....I earned them all.
Not so much anymore. Maybe I'm better at spotting the cops and toning it down when I see them??

Thank you, Advance, I use it quite a bit. And checking the parts right at the counter that's a good idea.

Hey guys, just wanted to share a cheaper alternative to disc brakes I discovered during my YouTube binge watching session.

I made a video to demonstrate how easy and cheap they really are.

Thanks to invincible extremes on YouTube. He created brackets to adapt 2005/2014 Mustang GT Rear Disc Brakes to a Mopar 8 3/4 or Dana 60 rear end. The price beats Wilwood, which I will unfortunately admit I have on the front of my car.

All in all, I'm setup for about 450 bucks on the rear. With lifetime warranty pads from O'Reilly's now 😉

My YouTube channel here will show you how easy it was. YouTube.com/SmashingPunkFan

For a temporary spare, it is fine.
Grinding out the center to fit over a  Mopar hub then puts the wheel mounting studs as the load carrying members. Engineers will tell you that wheels need to be HUB centric but have you ever seen the millions of trucks and 4wds with LUG centric wheels? These are heavier vehicles than ours and I've seen no huge increase of failures with them.
