I moved this kit from another car and I do have a mixture of the two kits. I
did not change the pilot bush when I did it so my guess is that I've been
running with a stock 1275 bush. I did it without the instructions and don't
remember them saying anything about changing the bush.
This probably explains why I've had problems with it.
I will give Bill Perry a call in the morning and have him FEDEX one too me.
