Re: manual or power rack

Re: manual or power rack
I have a manual rack on the truck with the small block and a power rack on the big block.............I do not find any issues with the manual rack. However, if you are going to use a big block then a power rack is a must........just my .02

Re: manual or power rack
Mine has the power rack. I don't find it too sensitive and works very well in the parking lot. I think some of the earlier set-ups had a problem going from the GM pump to the f**d rack but there is valving now to correct that.

Re: manual or power rack
I have a 51 GMC 1/2 and plan to rod it. I am currently stripping and priming the body piece by piece. Im building and budgeting at the same time and gathering all the info I can so when I get to the next step (the chassis) Im rety. Im still debating a must ll set up or the s-10 thing. This site is the best for info by far. Thanks for the replys.
