Default Always Give Us The Year And Type Of Transmission

When you are needing help with any problem ALWAYS give us the year and type of transmission of your ride because it can make a big difference in diagnosing the problem.

Exactly! Because only a fool would use a double pumper on anything but a race engine that always runs 4000 RPMS or higher!!!

how about on your "profile" page under "about me",

they get rid of all that "facebook, twitter, google+" etc crap, and put useful info like:

engine :
carb :
transmission :
rear ratio :
modified/stock :
etc

ahh, but then we would expect people to fill it in,

i'll go now

Hi tbtr,
If I had a dollar for every time I've looked at someone's profile to see if they've noted what car they have so I can have some idea what they're asking about…. we could both retire!

Alan
