Super 300M U-joint
Longfield Super Axles now offers a virtually indestructible 300M Dana 44/60 U-joint. The design utilizes caps made from 4340 chromoly, which lack needle bearings and bushings, a common failure point on other high-strength U-joints. Instead, Longfield U-joints rely on a special military-spec synthetic lubricant and polished friction surfaces to prevent wear. Each cap features a low-profile grease fitting for easy maintenance. Priced well below other heavy-duty U-joints on the market, these joints come with a lifetime warranty against breakage. So if you break it, Longfield will replace it for free.

Vibration-Absorber Carburetor Spacer
This new item from Competition Cams is sure to help out any domestic V-8 equipped with a carburetor. It's designed to prevent both high-rpm lean-out and irregular fuel atomization while insulating carburetors against power-robbing engine heat transfer. These spacers will work with 4150-, 4500-, and 2300-model four-barrel carburetors, and both gasoline and alcohol application spacers are offered. The spacers feature shock-resistant composite construction, making them desirable for off-road racing applications. Info: 800/999-0853, www.compcams.com.
