Refletix IS awfully @#$% and goes to heck in six months...it's mylar backed bubblewrap, the plastic is polyethylene.....all that work to have it deflate, delaminate, collapse and leave a million mylar flakes everywhere.
probably get more time out of it in Minnesota...but anywhere where there's heat/ozone etc....just dreadful.
PASS!

This is going to get interesting. Cars been sitting pretty much for 6 years while I've worked on it . Finally got it running after installing the headers & finishing the brakes ( about 2 months ago ) was babying in a few days in the neighborhood & started having issues with it just dying . Rebuilt the distributor & putting it all back together now . I know it's going to need some fine tuning .
