Going to chuckwalla for the street races tomorrow. Just spectating, my Opel isn't near quick enough to street race. Primarily going cause I'm curious, never been there, and my local track closed last year.
Anyone else from here going? Mike?
Last I heard, a cracked one-side-only was $5k, an uncracked pair was $15k.
There were inner fender mods, even to max cars, to be able to use them.
I believe there is ONE car on the planet actually running, using a pair.
I am NOT an expert on cone suregrips (at all! Never had one, clutches lockers, or spools) but it looks to me like you have clearance on both sides, meaning the cones havent bottomed out. Cones bottoming out is what makes them into one-leggers.
I'd check the spiders/side gears for lash, and put...
If I had my way, those giant infotainment screens the manufacturers are so proud of would go black the instant the car moves.
Wanna see something, or get directions? Park the f#@king car!
Edit : the radio would be separate.
My cell phone mount is available from wall mart, for $12.99.
Rustler jeans, black or blue. Left front pocket, properly inaccessible while operating a motor vehicle.
I've got a pair of 235-75x15s for my 62, on seven inch rims, for the front.
Thr ONLY way they work is because a previous owner at some point cut the leading edge of the fender back three or four inches!
I can agree, sorta, with that. If my 15x8 ram wheels had 4 1/2 bs instead of 4", I could have got 275s on em fairly easily.
As it is, the 255s work, but they are almost as tight on the fender as my 10.5 slicks.
I do NOT mean to insult you, but are you sure of your bs measurements? The way you have the square laying, you're not measuring from the tire to the wheel face are you? (I'm positive you know what you're doing..... but I hadda ask)
The one wheel you show looks identical to my 15x8 ramcharger...
So sorry for your loss, Kim.
I know the feeling. I cried like a baby when I had to put my Mopar down.
They just don't live long enough, but you did the right thing by him, and you had a good run together.
Deal with the loss for a while, and then rescue another that needs a 14 year home.......
I have a real Detroit locker in my 8 3/4 and clicking during turns is entirely normal. I believe it is for the lockers that fit in open diffs too.
(I think there are things called "soft lockers" that are quieter, but I don't know if such a thing is available to retrofit an open diff.)
I like that, nice combo. Especially the nice tall 215s, if you have clearance for the height. But with not QUITE enough backspace on the rear (same problem I had) a 255 is probably a better fit for matthon. My opinion only.
You are correct. The 69 Sixpack motors used LY rods. Not till 1970 did the Sixpack engines get Sixpack rods.
And .100 longer rod is hardly the same except for bolts.
And I'm pretty sure the Nascar engines used Carillo rods even way back then......
Ive got a 235-70/15 on a six inch rim for my 62, but tire size.com says to stick to a 225 for a 5.5 rim. Adjust aspect ratio to get the height you want. (Running a 235 on a 5.5 wouldn't bother me a bit)
I'm also using a 255-70/15 on the rear on a ramcharger 15x8 steelie. I wanted a 275-70 but...
