Wheels ordered and will arrive tomorrow. Only doing the rears for now. My go to Mexi-tire type place is hooking me up with 2 used 275/60/15 Goodyears with about 60-70% thread for $30 each (BUDGET WIN!).

One thing tho...the specs page for the wheels on Summit say the wheels require a 45 deg. lugnuts which I ordered but in the wrong size. Itll probably take a couple more days to get the right lugs again. Is it a really bad idea to use the regular lugs in the meantime? Otherwise, my tire guy is going to try to find me the right lugs by tomorrow.

I don't recall ever having seen a tach in anything other than a Road Runner or a GTX, but I also don't know if the tach was available as an option on a 318 car or by itself. My guess is that it was added. Most of the cars have either the square clock or the delete panel. The Coronet also has the same gauge cluster & both my Satellite & my Coronet have delete plates.

I found a gauge cluster years ago with a 150 speedo & the square tach for $40. One day I may put the tach in my Satellite.

Ponch, see if you have a build sheet in the back seat springs.   :Twocents:

It looks like it was an available option on all models....but you could not order it and the clock....obviously had to be one or the other on the option list.  :2thumbs:

maybe he should make sure, it wasn't changed over to RHT. Or think about changing it, if he has too ? I had a few 70's that had been changed to RHT.

Thanks! I think I found them on the Autozone website. Apparently they are different.

Cool. I'm gonna check first if it hasn't been changed. The car has aftermarket type lugs, so maybe it's been changed. If not, it may be easier to just change the studs rather than having to hunt down the LH lugs.
