RE: Tire recommendations?

[tom hecht <baddd65@xxxxxxxxx>]

i put the s/s disc conversion on the front of mine, it
allows 14" rims and has very good braking, i am not
sure what you guys are building, but mine goes in the
range of 115-119 in the quarter, with a short shutdown
area, never had a problem.

big wheels are a preference i don't understand on old
cars. don't get me wrong, i like the tuners and
appreciate their contribution to hot-rodding, it is in
a totally different class though.
