thx very helpful

One more question, do you know the size Nitto tire you are running? do you have stock wheel opng?

Ahhh, this sounds like what I'm looking for. Hope you were able to get the white line off the radial though. . . I like the way the Nitto 555r2's look. Nice. Just a little bit of tread. What power and rear end are you running? Mine has auto which calms it down somewhat, but still loads of spin...

Do you find that they help getting traction off the line, also, have you used on drag strip?

Thanks Russ have heard of these and will definitely look into them.

Hi guys, I have a 70 RR with 383 bored and stroked. Dyno 420hp 510ftlb. Have period correct stock Firestones all around, but even with autotrans, spins rear tires very easily. 3.91 rear btw. Looking for a recommendation for a tire that I can use on street and strip, that will help me hookup. I...

Hey, that's a cool clue about the tag, thanks. I've got the driver seat out and I'm going to lift up a bit and see what I can see. Thanks for telling me that is called jute padding. Do you know when it was outlawed? That could also help me date this maybe. I'm not replacing the carpet, which...

That's kind of what I'm thinking, especially with the miscellaneous screws I found underneath the carpet. But I've been told the factory carpet would have a stamp on it saying it was Chrysler or something like that. Do you remember if your carpet had anything like that when you removed it?

I don't have the numbers but haven't heard of Berrie Grant, what is that exactly? Sounds interesting. Yeah, glad it was the carb rather then something serious!

Well folks it's been a struggle but finally, as of Friday, my 383 is running correctly! I've had this car for over 3 years now, and in January I had it towed to garage. It would run, technically, but took 5 minutes to get it to hold idle and it hesitated badly on acceleration. Carb rebuild time...

Hey gang - Lots of progress on getting the 383 bird on the road. Car is now running, though not running great. The Holley was rebuilt, engine full tune, including timing. Takes at least 5 minutes to get it to hold idle, and kinda hesitates when you give it gas, then picks up and runs forward...

It is, and I compared the graphic to what was on my horn (I'm particular about these things haha) and the repo graphic was very close to original. The probably scanned it. . . under a bridge. . . in China. Actually I don't know where the horn was made but seems like everything comes from China...

Same here. I saved the original but the replacement seems like a dead on match to my eye.

Yeah, same here. Easy install and does sound great I agree.
