    What was your backspacing? Maybe that was the culprit.

    1966 Coronet Tire/Wheel Combo

    Wow, I am surprised by that. I know others have definitely fit 275's and 255's were supposed to be the safe side. Anyone else want to add what you are running for your 66/67?

    1966 Coronet Tire/Wheel Combo

    Looking to finally upgrade the hodge podge wheels on my project car. Can a few people confirm what size they are running on their 66 Coronet's or other B-body that we know has the same clearances? Someone posted these sizes a while back. Is this the sweet spot for my car? Front - 15x7 4.25 BS...

    Drum Brakes Grabbing - SOLVED!

    Where did you buy the good ones? My drum locks up on me but probably more due to what pnora is talking about since it is only the driver side rear.

    B-Body Wheel and Tire Master Thread

    I still feel like it would be helpful info at least so people don’t keep asking the same question. If people knew what options had been done on their car it may help a few people, but I guess this won’t be happening… haha

    8-3/4 Rear Fluid Replacement

    How do I know if I have a suregrip again? Does that have to do with how the rear wheels spin? Both of mine spin together when you rotate one side by hand.

    8-3/4 Rear Fluid Replacement

    Looking to check and replace the gear oil in my rear end. Looking at the manual looks like I just need to take out the square plug and pump it out. Any tips on removing that plug? Only thing I had that would fit on it were some channel locks and it does not seem to budge. Any recommended tools...

    Battery Electrical

    So, you are saying I should run another ground from the negative battery terminal all the way up to block or radiator support? Something like a #12 or #14? Wouldn't the heat be the same regardless of the battery location?

    By rubber boot, do you mean the heat shrink that usually comes with these connectors or is there something else?

    Battery Electrical

    Is that common or am I getting too much current to the starter for some reason?

    Battery Electrical

    took some pictures of the setup. Cable connected to the starter does not look good. So much for the heat shield I had over it. Any other issues you see? I think this was a kit from summit, Need to get some new connectors. Does this seem like #4 gauge?

    LOL feel like an idiot. Car was in reverse! Kids were playing around in the car and must have moved it into reverse. Thank you! On another note. I am getting some machine gun fire from the starter when I first start it up. I think I’m on my third starter over the last 10 years. Project car so...
