Looks like you added a tach too?

Is that Ron Jeremy?

I’ve been using VR 1 for decades with no additives, with a solid flat tappet. My car is driven so little that I haven’t changed the oil in many years.

Not bad! That Ford was tough. Multiple shots into the radiator, yet it just keeps on running better.

Looking at my wheels, they’re not even hub centric. I’ve got about 3/4” to my inner wheel well, so I’m going to test it out soon.

I can see how narrower rims would help. I’m about 3/4” to the leafs as well. That clearance won’t change, but chassis roll makes the wheels angle in or out depending. I’m goin to try it this week. I’m a little concerned because each side does show a smidge of past rubbing, and these treads are...

Well, I’m certainly not doing that. Earlier I showed a picture of a 3/8” spacer that goes over existing studs. I just wanted to know what the minimum clearance is? They’re heavy duty biased leafs with the burly sleeved rear hangers.

UPDATE! With the car on the weight of the wheels sitting evenly, I have 3/4” clearance from the tire to the inner wheel well. I was getting a false reading with the axle uneven to the floor, via Jack, duh! How much is enough? I went from 275 50, to 295 50. One photo shows a weency bit of rubbing...

Ok, good information, thanks 33!

I was looking at these yesterday.

I finally replaced my old almost bald MT drag radials on the rear of my 69 RR. They were 275 50 15, and looked very nice tucked under the car. I was trying to find a regular radial tire in those same dimensions with no luck, unless I wanted to go to another drag radial. I settled on a BFG 295 50...

Any updates? It’s been almost a month.

Just read this, very good story! I love reading about true factory horsepower wars, when it seemed like almost anything goes.

I could only find 275s in 60 or 70 spec for standard Street radials. These are 275 50 15 ET drags, not good in moisture

Price drop, now $300.

71 slapstick in my RR

Ok. After much fumbling around, I believe I’ve deleted 15 conversations, so I THINK I can receive more

Hmmm, I don’t see how? I try to see what’s going on.

That front end must’ve not moved

I eyed the two ends together, they don’t seemed to be clocked.
