[Fot] aftermarket crank dampeners and pullies for TR4's

[Sam Halkias]

Stick with the ATI damper. They can put the timing marks in the proper
position for a 4 , 6 or 8 cylinder, just send it to them. I use ATI dampers on
full race and street engines, could not be happier. Yes they do cost $$$$ but
it will pay for itself over the long run.
