I have a tire mix like yours Mike, wider for the back. Same issue, fronts are fine, rear are brown. It's a p*ss off! Can't find anything that says the issue has been corrected by Goodrich.

Thanks Jeff, the eBay set has two different covers (only one cover has the oil filler provision) unlike what the OP has. I guess the grommet will cover one for PCV use?

IDK I see 2 the same with oil filler cap provision in first post?

How much for the pair? lol

BTW the Accel wires are around $100 a set now.:wtf: I've had good luck with mine but my car isn't driven very much either. A mostly stock 318 won't need anything special or see any improvement with expensive wires IMO.

Same here, I've been running Accel wires in my 340 for over 10 years with no issues.

That's a judgement call only you can make. I think you already know once the sixpack is tuned it is a blast and then the nostalgia of having it when you open the hood. :) My sixpack is fun for those reasons. Once mine was tuned it has not required anything for many years. It might come down to...

I agree with Sterling, no resistor. My MSD ignition box requires a power wire directly to the battery and resistor bypass. I think yours would require the same.

I don't see a voltage regulator either?

Yep read 'em..the shop that put my headers in unbolted the steering box. I found this out when I was driving home and the steering was wandering. They forgot to tighten it back down. :BangHead: I paid them to install the headers to avoid dealing with the stupid things..

IDK if it was me I'd pass on it and look for a decent running engine and transmission combo from a car. There are lots of 5.2 and 5.9's out there. Or maybe I'm just lazy...

Thanks for the info! The point of my post being the fact Nick's heads are correct for the '68 or '69 block .

Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to why people do their own "upgrades" over stock setups that work well.. Sometimes it's just shiny and new.

The X heads have the big valves so that's a bonus and correct for that engine. Yeah I understand, I'll be 70 in a few months. Crawling under cars for some of us is painful now. No big deal, it's a very nice car so just enjoy driving it. :steering:

Which leads to more questions. The car does sound healthy and looks well cared for. Nick is this a low mileage car with the original 340? I'm wondering if it has the original bottom end, cam and heads with a swapped intake and carb. Inquiring minds. :)
