truckdude239- I just got an email last week from Skip White. He told me he is coming out with ceramic headers specifically for our trucks soon.

He has nice stuff for nice prices. My dad needs a distributor and that one looks like it should be fine for his truck. Think I'll get one today!

chopper103in · 12-27-2006, 02:21 PM

a friend of mine ordered one for his 72 nova and it works great
hell of a deal ---you cant go wrong for the price

zden · 12-27-2006, 02:25 PM

i have one of the procomps coming in the mail. my local rod shop sells the procomp for $80 bucks. they said they had no complaints from them so i ordered one off ebay and saved $25 bucks.

panhandler62 · 12-27-2006, 02:46 PM

He's on my favorite sellers list.... bought a distributer.. I like it.

**truckdude239** · 12-27-2006, 03:08 PM

i got mine i just haven't installed it since i'm building my new motor going to look nice

jimmydean · 12-27-2006, 03:55 PM

Are the headers full length? I have seen 67-72 full length ones on there a few weeks ago. I have bought a few things from him and all have been great.

I need a mid length.

GMCBubba · 12-27-2006, 04:28 PM

fyi, i got an email from truckdude's hei source. his product is made in Australia for Wysco. On wysco's website, they only talk about a 50,000 volt model (not the 65k volt model on the ebay post), but maybe i'm missing something. The seller of the Procomp model in C10crazy's post makes some pretty strong claims that there is no such thing as a 65k volt hei such as the one whiteperformance sells. don't know what to make of the battling claims.

for some reason, though, i tend to trust the product and posting from whiteperformance more than the other. my 2 cents.

meathead95 · 12-27-2006, 05:54 PM

i think junkyardjohn bought 2 of them awhile back. try sending him a pm to see if he has used one of them yet.

**FleetsidePaul** · 12-27-2006, 06:08 PM

How about Skip Whites wires?
I was looking at these

How did you find out about the WYSCO company?

I ordered the HEI dizzy and the wires from him and both were super easy to install and work great! Im buying my dad the same setup for his truck.

timcos · 12-27-2006, 09:39 PM

I bought one from whiteperformance1 (Skip White)...very happy with it...replaced the old dizzy...doubled my gas mileage.

72rustbucket · 12-27-2006, 11:13 PM

I got mine from whites had on truck for 3 months and no problems as of now. Looking to get another for other car.

71chevytruckguy · 12-28-2006, 12:01 AM

the one's skipwhite sells is made by a company called WARP. i got one of the 65k models last may and have had no problems with is since them. its in my daily driven '69 swb. chris.

*MisterMan* · 12-28-2006, 03:30 AM

cheap cheap cheap. my rotor let go and took out the cap. said screw that and got a accel hi performance set up.

GMCBubba · 12-28-2006, 10:55 AM

72army - i emailed skip white from ebay with the questions "where is it made?" and "how does this product hold up?" and he replied: Australia, by Wysco, and great, if any problems within three years we will replace.

Boise69 · 12-28-2006, 12:12 PM

Bought a Mini High Torque starter from SkipWhite. Installed it and it was as dead as the one i was replacing.... Called them on a sunday cuz i was pissed, skip white answered the phone, he appologized over and over and sent me a new and different mini and enclosed a check for a refund and never asked for the bad starter to be shipped back. A real stand up guy and would def buy from him again, i like his prices too. BUT The guys behind the counter who answer the phone for tech advice are not too enthused about answering questions and sound half asleep or stoned.

project1971 · 12-28-2006, 12:57 PM

I have bought water pump and headers from skip white and plan on getting the tbi dist. from him next.

Psycho71 · 12-28-2006, 06:41 PM

Have one on my truck, and it works great. Really woke up from the stock HEI that was on it. Dropped it right in, and had no trouble with it. I bought mine from a local speed shop for $100.

skokie · 12-28-2006, 06:43 PM

I have one installed on my truck. Ever since I put it in I can just look at the key and it will start

ghackett1 · 12-28-2006, 08:16 PM

I don't see how you can go wrong for that price. Heck the MSD Ready to Run is in the high 200's. This one is probably just as good. I'd try it if I was in the market but I already put in the MSD because I did not know about these. But I added this guy to my favorite sellers and may pick up one of his mini high torque starters.
