I see that MSD has a new digital points replacement kit and it has a simple one wire hook up with no power supply and ground needed. Saw it in the new sumitt cataloge. Wonder if this means you do not have to by-pass the resister wire. Has anyone had any experience with this unit? In the past most pe...

Ive never heard of this and have several tapes in storage that would be great to upload onto my PC. I have been slowly rep...

I put the new cable on that I got last year from Corvette Specialties and it's loose on the trans end. The threads seem to bottom out but the cable flops around. Is here supposed to be a rubber washer similar to a garden hose on that end to seal ?

I re-painted and assembled my dash and dash pad awhile ago, and had it sitting on my bench waiting to get put back into the car. Last night I knocked it onto the floor, cracking my original dash pad in 2 spots . I've heard the repo pads fit terrible, but I'm wondering about the dash cap overlays that glu...

Do any of you guys have a preference as to which power buffer to use. Kind of getting tired of using the old hand method that I learned back in 1958 to clean and polish the car. Do I have to spend around $150 or is there a good one in the $75 to $100 range? Any recommendations? Thanks.
