i eliminated the need to test a relationship.  there was two of them already screwed to the fender so im thinking its a common theeme.


air, fuel, HEI should make her go.  ill hook the HEI to the toggle i have for the amber strobe, light bar, and GM fuel pump circuit i ran with good wire and a maxi 50 amp.

Fed ex is the worst. Somehow ruffstuff orders get here in 3 days ,anything else from CA takes at least a week. I ordered a gift for a friend in tx ,fed ex picked it up in Ohio gave it to a third party, got it to tx, then handed it to usps, so for 3 of the 7 days it sat in limbo
