That little 235 DR was already on there. It was on my buddies car. I'm putting a 28x10.5x15S on it this weekend.

The carb is currently plug pv's and 82/87 jetting. It runs pretty good WOT but part throttle is still very rich. And loads up.
I'm switching back to my 6.5pv and 75/90 jetting. It was close just needed fine tuned from that range. The car drove fine like this.
Vacume is 10 to 11 inches at idle, in gear with foot on brakes.

I managed to spend a few hours tonight getting the carb switched back around. I picked up a 5.5 pv and jetted it to 75/87. I'm going to work it out from there. It should be close.
I got 3' of -8AN and a -8 45AN and made a new vent hose. I made it go up to the rear package tray and the down through the floor. I don't think it will splash gas.

I took the driver seat out to re-tap and seat mounting hole that was stripped.

I also picked up my slicks. I hope to mount them by this weekend.

If the idle is between 10" and 11" of vacume at idle. And the rule of thumb was half of that, then that would be a 5.5pv. And if there is still a lean spot I can adjust from there.

I might be able to drive it tonight to find out how it does. If not it will be this weekend. My wife has a minor surgery and my daughter fell at the sitters Monday and fractured her leg. We took her yesterday and got a cast put on it. So these two things are take top priority over everything right now.
I'm home with her the rest of the week and it really sucks for her. All she can do is sit or lay down for 3 weeks. And all she wants to do is get up and play. It breaks my heart.

Here are some pics of fitting the 28x10,5 ET drag on the 15x8 5.5bs wheels. I had to clearance the quarter panels for safe clearance.
