Royal Purple Synthetic Oil has been added to the motor oil product line at PerformanceParts.com.

Royal Purple motor oil is a synthetic oil that will give you superior wear protection and increased fuel economy. You can extend your oil change intervals because Royal Purple is extremely oxidation stable and it stands up to the heat in your engine that causes other oils to breakdown. And it continuously protects because Royal Purple adheres to metal parts with a thin film of oil even after the engine has been shut down. That protects against wear later when the engine is re-started.

The new Lakewood EZ-Adjustable Dowel Pins are a snap to use and will save a lot of valuable mechanic time installing and aligning your bellhousing. These pins are available in a variety of sizes to work in all factory blocks. Their unique design allows them to be slipped into the block and adjusted with an open-end wrench. Once you have dialed in the bellhousing and engine alignment, simply tighten the set screw that runs down the middle to your desired adjustment. Then torque all bellhousing block bolts and safety block plate bolts and you’re done! They are packaged two pins per set and priced competitively. Now toss out the vice grips, chisels, pry bars, and bent screwdrivers!

• Machined precisely for specific OEM block dowel pin hole sizes - GM
are .621″ dia, Ford are .500″ dia. and Mopar are .496″ dia. • Three ranges of adjustment - .007”, .014” and .021″

• Machined from hardened steel for high strength • Complete installation instructions allow you to dial in your bellhousing and engine alignment in record time - usually just under 15
minutes!

PerTronix has announced a new addition to their line up of Flame-Thrower coils. Their new HV (high voltage) E-Core design yields an incredible 60,000 volts and operates with no degradation throughout temperature ranges that surpass military specifications. The special heat sink design made from aircraft 6063 T5 aluminum efficiently transfers heat optimizing energy output for street/strip and off road applications. The housing is black anodized for increased corrosion resistance. Coils are vacuum potted resulting in better reliability and longer life.

Brass primary terminals provide greater current conductivity and allow direct mounting without special connectors or harnesses. Standard thread connections and mounting hardware is provided with each coil. The high tension male terminal is precision machined to ensure a snug fit for the coil wire. The heat sink extrusion is designed for ease of installation and allows alternate routing of wires.

HV coils are available in three primary resistances, 3.0 ohm, 1.5 ohm and 0.45 ohm, making them compatible with most points type and electronic ignition systems including the popular Ignitor and Ignitor II ignitions for 4, 6 and 8 cylinder applications. All three coils are compatible with PerTronix Second Strike Ignition and most capacitive discharge boxes. HV coils are 50 states legal.

Despite what your might have heard, straightness does matter, particularly when it comes to your engines push rods. Using bent rods can cause expensive and extensive damage to both lifters and rockers. Just a few thousands bend can cause valve spring problems, and that can’t be good. If severely off straight, the valves might not open or close completely, robbing fuel economy and horsepower. Either way, your engine will be very unhappy!PROFORM® has added this compact and precise ROD STRAIGHTNESS MEASURING TOOL (#66789) to their box full of inexpensive engine building tools. Simply insert your push rod between the spring-loaded holders, set the re-positionable gauge on the rod and slowly turn the rod and watch the gauge. Any bends along the shaft will be discovered instantly.
