From other comments on the net, these things are total junk, as are ALL Procomp products.

Never heard of them myself; but thanks for the "Heads Up" guys.

ProComp is just a marketing front for "whatever" parts.Their tires are Cooper with ProComp`s design.I don`t buy from marketers when there are manufacturers known for making quality components since day one and put their names on their products so you know it`s good.

I got one off of Fleabay, it's been running good now for over a year in my '69. YMMV.
