Kenny Brown vs Edelbrock Strut Brace

Which is better for clearing all of the factory equipment, I want the triangle type ones.

Yes the edelbrock for TBI fits cars with AC, sorry i don't have pics of mine, but id does, you just have to take it off everytime you want to work on anything on the pass. side of the engine bay.

So it is! Well that makes the choice a lot easier. When I was looking at it I thought I saw a version for TBI and TPI. I must have been looking at another brand.
