I have placed hundreds of orders over the years with Rock Auto. Much like Tire Rack, success has caused some price creep with them. Everything seems to just be going up and up. But, IMO, their...

If Speedmaster/China would have spent less time copying the engraved name and a little more time making a part that actually worked, none of this would have likely come to light. Every part they...

Those washers were under the heads of all 20 bolts on my engine. I had no idea they were factory installed. But since found out they were supplied on early SD engines for some reason not clear to...

So if I understand you correctly, you have a way to trigger the system. A pick up coil/reluctor distributor? If that's the case, you could use it to trigger an older MSD 6. You would want one 10...

This car sold for 112K + fees. Seems like strong money for a non-SD but far short of what the selling dealer must have thought it was worth. They had it on their wed site for nearly 140K. But...
