Actually, it wets its plugs because it has a Quadrajet, and an inefficient, old, points distributor.

That's being remedied with a Holley, and a 60,000 Volt HEI.

The cam in the L46 is actually pretty smooth. I'm used to some pretty sick bumpsticks.

Nice. I almost went 15x10's but changed my mind when I went to order.

I also agree that the 275's look a bit big on that car. I just wanted to prove my point that 245's were still available!

Nice! Fuck big rims & low-profiles.

Same wheels! That's just what careful tire stagger can do.

Rears are 20mm wider...barely noticeable, but it gives it "stance".

235/60/15 and 255/60/15

Agonized over this shit for about 3 days. Think I nailed it.

Stock was 215/70/15 or F70-15

Nice. I went 245's all the way around my cutlass. stock was a 195. Thought about a stagger, but with my love of the burnouts, I like being able to rotate tires.

Nailed it!

The raised white letters look 1000x's better than the red stripe.

Nobody fucking makes a 245 anymore. Not in 15.

Ideally, I wanted 245 in front, and 265 in rear. Both sizes are not really available anymore in a 15.

There's a 275, and even a 295 (!), but that shit woulda looked boy racer out the ass.

This is spot on for my taste, and no rubs.
