[DeTomaso] Best $110

[Jerry Knotts]

I have been using one of those for a few years as well as the bottle 
jack version on the jack tray on my car lift.  When I purchased they 
large one for the engine lift I didn't check the lower mounting on the 
engine lift.  I had to modify the base of the jack to get it to attach 
safely.  On the car lift be sure and check the collapsed jack height.  
On the 'P' cars I have to use a small scissor jack to get it high enough 
to slip the air over hydraulic under the chassis.

It take a fair amount of air to lift a complete engine.  I don't care 
because it is done in less than a minute and my right arm doesn't hurt.

Have fun,
