Neat little module. Takes care of priming and engine being off in a crash, etc. I wish I had seen it last year when I was wiring up my 51 Ford....
Wow! I was pretty happy with mine, but it doesn't come anywhere near some of these creative ones. I'm definitely not a contender for the coolest...
This makes sense. We’re going to fire it up at night and turn on the lights and then step on the gas. It makes sense if the lights go brighter we...
