Great product Jerry.    Makes it so I can kick my 13.5:1 motor sitting down.   

Have mine hooked to a hotstart for that stealth "ooh he is like superman and the incredible hulk rolled into one to kick a k5 like that, I bet he is hung like a donkey".
So if for no other reason to get one  A JFAB COMP RELEASE PICKS UP BABES

also found out it's nice for priming the cyl for starting   Hold in the comp release.  Shove it through 3-5 times.  Pop first kick every time. (when cold procedure)

working on a review writup for this in the review section

Figured I'd share how I hooked mine up.
Works great for me.   But if you don't have good hand eye coordination.  You may want to put the lever on the clutch side.
Sorry for the cell phone pics.

How much effort is required for the thumb push?

   I don't beleave I would try it with my head stay. If you used copper washers to seal the stay to the head It might seal and work but there is very limited clearance up top.

Hey Jerry, does it matter if its a 450 or 250 frame for clearance, or does one have more clearance than the other?  Thanks..

I have not put the remote release onto an engine that was in an AF. Im am quite sure it will hit the tank. The push button release will work just fine. A cable could be made to work with it easy enough if only I had time.

Hey Jerry, this might be a stupid question, but do you offer a push button release?

GM Man,
The standard release is a push button design.

I have the remote system with no problems.  I experimented if it it did fail if I could still ride it, and I could limp back to the truck if I had to.

He is a very busy Guy From what I understand. Plus the holidays you can't expect things to move quickly. He has always been cool with me. Just don't get pissed, no one likes that. Check his website, maybe there is another email address there that he may check more frequently. If your patient good things will happen. The quality of his work is worth it...
