I have a 15x7 with 3.75 backspace on my '66 tribute car running a 225/60 tire front and rear. Fenders are not rolled. Only a slight rub on the fronts under certain situations. 215 would not rub at all I shouldn't think. Every car is a bit different however.

I notice the driver's seat back is reclined further than the passenger. Were they like that when new?

Late to the party here. I recently fitted new Koni to my '66 tribute and went half way on the front and 1/4 from soft on the rear. Very happy with the performance. Are they no longer making the Avon CR6ZZ or just supply issues?

Thanks for the tip on the grease, good idea!

Your write up is timely FL SAAC. Thanks. I have had the same pump in the box for 3 months on my garage floor ready to go on my '66 tribute. In my case I want what's going to provide the best performance and heard this 65 style pump is a much better design and flows better than the '66 style.

A couple of questions. Did you have to adjust the float bowls in the carb after fitting the pump?

Was any form of sealant required on the gasket?

Hey deathsled, I noticed in your pic that the radio antenna has been modified on your car. Are you able to share any details? I like it!

This article has some interesting info about the car's life after the '67 LeMans race, including it being converted to a coupe to satisfy racing regulations. No details as to its whereabouts post 2004.
