that's a pretty tall tire up front. what's the ride height? if it's below factory spec you'll likely need to come up.
better shocks might help, but stiffer torsion bars certainly would.
Another one I passed on. A 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ 428. A jock classmate of mine drove it all the way thru high school. He wasn't really a car guy, so I never really looked at it that well. Then in our senior year he started raising a little hell and I realized it had the 428 in it. He went...
All I have ever run is the plastic (nylon) and never had an issue. We even used it on the track and no one ever said a word. I always run it along the wiring harness and zip tie it every few inches. I keep it away from anything hot and sharp. I have however, seen copper line break and it had...
225/70/14 Are pretty big for the front. I have a 69 Barracuda with 205/70/14s and under the exact same circumstances, I get a tiny tire rub in the front. I just take it real easy.
thank you for your support . lol. it's not a book but a round tin can with ??? round cards. 2 jokes to a card, you do the math. and now today's installment: 1.what do you call a participation trophy in astronomy? a constellation prize. 2. have you seen the new movie Constipation? it hasn't come...

(Yes, there was some aluminum wheel opening trim that I bumped back up with a rubber mallet that was responsible for the worst of the rub.)
**I have absolutely NO RUB driving on rough streets!
But, still have the rub with bounce and turn at same time at the end of the driveway.
(And...
Welcome aboard!:canada: I just finished building installing my 340. Lots of fun with lots of help here!
Make sure to have good tools. Degree wheel, valve spring compressor (diy, cheap and easy). Harmonic puller, dial indicator.
Have fun!
Based on your measurements, your current tires would fit just fine with no rolling if you had an extra 1/2" of backspace.
255's have been done on some 70+ Darts, but, they're super tight. Now, if you roll the quarter lips AND buy a new set of wheels with more backspace, then it might be...
Thank you - can't wait to get to the tuning part instead of the mental bench racing part... your videos have definitely been part of the learning curve :)
Definitely cut down .100 thou and measured out at 52cc chambers - cost me MUCH less than pistons would have with the exchange rate, was...
Welcome! Fun project! are you sure you cut the heads .100 thousand?? Anyways, I think with some tuning and patience you have a good chance at reaching your goal. Best of Luck!
