Empire has a long history on not following thru.
Buyer beware!

Byron does make quality parts, always has, always will.

Hello, All

These guys will take your money and original parts and you will have nothing. They got me for $1750 and my original Cat 22 manifolds. I know of many other people , not just in the Cat field but antique car world as well, who have been similary ripped off. If you don't believe me do a search on the El Paso County, Texas county clerk website and you will find some of the many claims against them. Or contact the El Paso county district attorney, he has a full file on these guys. Give me a call if you want the details.

Erik,
Do you have contact information on Byron? Do you know if he makes manifolds for CAt22s? What was the beef between the Board and Byron? There must have been some problem for them to ban him from the web site. Ray
