I hate to say this; but most of the current Empi stuff is junk. For the most
part it is Chinese copies of original stuff. I have come to the conclusion the
Chinese can't reproduce anything according to specs. I avoid using Empi stuff
whenever possible.

Dan is correct. The last two EMPI ones I bought required extensive grinding to
make room for the bolts to attach to the engine. I even used socket head cap
screws to help. The last one I bought could not be modified enough to make it
useful. It's still in my parts box if anyone wants it.

I run this one:

Some of the empi ones I looked at were junk (buyer beware)
It has never hit anything.
