Wheel Stuff

The original FIA wheels were 6.5" front, 8.5" rear. When I purchased CSX 3121 in 1969, it was wearing a set of these. I later managed to scrounge a set of 7.5/9.5 Halibrands, which are still on the...

Saw Mort on a double bill with Chris Connor at Basin Street East in NYC in 1959. I don't remember my date, but I recall his sports car monologue about Aston Martins.

The slightly infamous Carter Gette did the angle iron reinforcement on several street 427s (including mine, CSX 3121) in the 1970s. Along with teflon bushings, it seemed to tighten things up a bit,...

My Cobra story has a few, similar twists. In 1969, I was living in Manhattan, owned a Sunbeam Tiger, and was in the process of winding down a painful marriage. On the plus side, I had just met a...

Closer to the answer i was seeking. The resurgence of the 427 vs. 428 debate really inspired my original post. Given the differences between the two, I suspect that those 390 manifolds hurt the...

My wife not only drove CSX 3121 regularly, her daily driver for a couple of years was a "66 GT350 with a 4.33 Detroit Locker rear. Thank heavens for Southern women!

Not definitive, but when I bought CSX 3121 in November 1969, it wore the FIA Halibrands front and rear (6-1/2", 8-1/2"). I eventually traded all four for a pair of 9-1/2" Halibrands, having already...

Using a floor jack, even to lift a corner of my daughter's 4000 lb. pickup did not damage our Racedeck flooring. Watch out for gasoline spills; given a little time, it will badly warp the tiles.
