This may have more to do with the offset of the rims. I have 5.5 inch wide rims on my '73, with 175/70s. I do have the occasional rubbing on hard bumps, but that is rare. Doug Mitchell

Pete, It sounds as if someone has pulled the distributor and worked on the engine. Then when it was put back together, they put the dizzy drive in backwards. The vacumn pipe should be pointing away

Well, whoever wrote the article sure didn't do their homework. They claim that the US based 1500 start at FM28001? Bzzzzzt. Wrong. Now maybe for 1975 when BL introduced the 1500 to the rest of the wo
