May 20, 201014 yr Author comment_320334 I fixed an oil leak on the front cover, so I took the opportunity to clean the engine compartment. This is not a show-quality job, but it's a major improvement to the picture above (the day I received the car) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35625-say-hello-to-91415/?&page=2#findComment-320334 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 20, 201014 yr Author comment_320364 Yokohama AVS ES700, P225/50VR-15. They're a little shorter then stock (23-7/8 v 24-3/4) resulting in a lower car and slight (4%) speedometer error. If you don't want the car lowered, 16 inch rims would be the correct size with 225/50's.

May 22, 201014 yr comment_320471 Gary, Beauty Z! I have the same carb covers on my '71. Did you notice any performance changes when you went back to the stock air box?

May 22, 201014 yr Author comment_320480 WiZeguy,Maybe. When I got this car it had so many issues; from the airpods, tight valves, misadjusted carbs, poor ignition - it's tough to tell what had the most impact.But if we were sitting around having a beer, I would suggest that the air horns on the stock airbox would provide superior airflow at lower speeds as the air horns help to accelerate the air (venturi effect via Mr. Bernulli). Since I spend 90% of the time between idle and 4000 rpm, that type of performance is what is most important.The pods might have an advantage at 5000 - 7000 rpms.
