How to Gap the Spark Plugs in Your S197 Mustang
Posted 7.9.2008 in Tech

In the instance of the B&M shifter, the difference in quality compared to many of the more popular models, including the Hurst, is noticeable. Needless to say, the Hurst
shifter is very popular, mostly because of its nostalgic appearance. Although we’re not saying it is not a quality shifter, the B&M stands out from its use of precision
