    63 Plymouth tire size

    It will depend on the wheels' offset/backspacing, and ride height. I've had 215/70R15s catch the bottom front corner on a 15x6 "mag" wheel; front was lowered only slightly from stock, maybe 1". Common interference area on most Mopars - A & B bodies in my experience - if the tires are tall enough...

    Crankcase vacuum with mufflers?

    On my car, we had to add some kind of muffler (91 db rule) and my pan-evac didn't work well with them. System was 3.5" pipe, X, race bullets, ended at rear axle. Got a GM electric vac pump (cheap, used; found on Vettes, Camaros, etc) & catch can w/breather and plumbed it using a valve cover cap...

    Comprehensive insurance

    Hagerty offers it, and I would think a couple other classic car insurers may as well. I've had Hagerty covering my old cars for many years now and am very happy with them.

    Muffler or Not?

    Years ago, Sears Point had to have a Db rule for weekday bracket races. On my SB Duster (low-10s footbrake car), from its 3" collectors we added a 3.5" X-pipe and Dynomax race Bullets, and turn-downs at the rear axle that slightly faced each other. Quieted the car down but it still would be a...

    Man am I rusty

    The car's pretty dang consistent, seems to me, not to mention it hauls butt. Just shut everything else out of your head but your routine. I've never watched the other guy at the tree; I just focus on ME not screwing up...
