$110 shipped off of ebay. brand spanking new.

aside from the balancer, my 9mm frpp plug wires have finally bothered me as much as i can take. (they are all 3 or so inches too long). i already shortened the coil wire as well as the wires for cylinders 4-8. im going to finish that up tomorrow as well.

ive done several of them.....removing the stock one is by far the easy part. the only way any romac i have ever installed would fit was to bake it for about 15 minutes at 425*

man, doing that, thing was a b****. You gotta take out the fan along with all the electrical connections that are on it and you have to move the overflow tank out of the way. i did it in like 2 hours but it only took me that long cuz i had to go and rent the removal tool from kragens. Not really that hard, just really tedious

well the plug wires are done. took 2-4 inches off each one depending what cylinder. they look 100% better. took about 2 hours total to do all of them. also straightened out one of my mufflers that is crooked. i still need to change the tranny mount, put on the exhaust tips, and do the romac, but its way too hot outside so those things are going to wait for another day.

That is Romac's steel/steel balancer, that is the reason it cost less. The steel/ aluminum one cost about twice that price. There is nothing wrong with the one you have though, its just a bit heavier.

I put mine in the oven at 350 degrees for about 6 mins and then it slid right on the keyway. You dont need to get it real hot, but just enough to get it over the keyway.

actually, it is only a $40 difference between the steel/steel and steel/aluminum. i had the sa/50 on my other one and can vouch for the fact that it significantly heavier than the steel/aluminum.

I was never a fan of the FRPP wires. I have a couple sets in the attic. Well there are a few missing from burning.

My back hurts I'm need a nap.
