Some of us found this out the hard way because of listening to the old schoolers riding the pine and saying "oh well slappers cal tracs work good on s-10's and silverado's and nova's and chevelles yadda yadda yadda". Well guess what, they don't work on a lightning period, I tried them both.
Lightning in video is equiped with CalTracs. Converted from JLP longbars that they could not make work. MHP did the setup and the motor build. Manny posted this info himself.
