02. Fuel Pressure for EFI Conversions
Fuel injection requires greater fuel pressure than carburetion and Edelbrock’s Universal EFI Sump Fuel Kits are designed to provide the high fuel pressure needed for vehicles converted to EFI but still running a low-pressure carbureted fuel system. Edelbrock’s newest version is smaller, but has many additional features than earlier systems. Kits are now adjustable from 35 to 90 psi and include a vacuum reference port. Edelbrock has kits capable of supporting horsepower ratings as high as 600 and 750 hp. The kits include the fuel sump with pump and regulator, wiring harness, hose, hose fittings, fuel filter, and hardware. The fuel sump assembly is available separately as well.

05. Protect Your Tires
Auto Care Products’ Tire Saver Ramps protect your tires from developing flat spots during longterm storage. The company has released a smaller size of the ramp, designed for smaller vehicles with tire heights of 13 to 26 inches. This new product is in addition to the original ramps, which can cradle tires with heights from 27 to 40 inches. The Tire Savers ramps are manufactured from solid PVC and won’t crush, crack, or slip. A unique ribbed design on the top and bottom prevents the ramps from sliding on the floor and provides traction for the tire. Tire Saver Ramps are available in 10- and 15-inch widths. Auto Care Products come with a 10-year warranty.
