I spoke with a gentleman at a place called Sport Truck Solutions in SoCal concerning the possibility of making a lid for my pickup. He said that they work...

Tim, there's no closer place to get a switched hot on the stock wiring. But there is another way to accomplish that. The ballast wire plugs into the pigtail...
David, that was probably a general statement I made, advising against running a shroud with a fan that throws air out the sides. Doing so will hurt the cooling...
Bob, at one time (1993) Eugene Phillips did the legwork on this and found a place in SoCal that would make custom fiberglass tonneau covers for the Econo...

David, that's a very good question, and I don't know the "proper" answer. Too close and you'll get turbulence - noise and disrupted flow. Too far and you'll...
A fan clutch "disconnects" the fan when cool, which can reduce noise and help MPG. In no case will it help with cooling. I'm running a clutch fan on my 302 - a...
With points you'd need to go with a non-resistor coil (3 ohm primary) to bypass the ballast. Otherwise the coil and points could be damaged. I've never run a...
