Correct me if I'm wrong :icon_eyes: but this is what I came up with...

275-60-15 are 28" tall and go better with 3.73 gears,. With stock 3.23 gears the speedo and ECM will be off.
255-50-15 are 25" tall no good period. Your speedometer and the ECM will be off.
255-55-15 are 26" tall and works best with stock 3.23 gears.
275-50-15 are 25.8" tall and require an 8.5" wide wheel.

couldn't help but notice you have one of those badly bent restrictive up-pipes. Time to change it. :rock:

Its been so long. I think one of the bolts is for the alternator bracket and that bracket may have to come off. All of the bolts, I removed from the top. I popped off the crossover pipe first and it cam off real easy back in 1989 :-) Yeah real long time ago. A header leak from a cracked header sounds like a ticking sound meets a farting sound like this icon  :068:

You will need to get this harness from caspers electronics for the dual fans.

I also bought this to put around the edges to seal the fan up against the radiator.

I gave up on black. I thought it was too much on the sides. If the sides were shorter then black would have worked. I seem to think that's why I painted them back in 1988 from black to what I could find on the shelf that was close to my body color.  I went with the body color match. Dark red metallic.

I don't have the originals to compare I sold them but its plastic and theres definitely a very small texture to them.
What did you use the sem paint black on the air dams?

When I first got the air Dam it was gloss black and I didn't like it. Here's a shitty pic of it.

Paint and Body / air dam re-paint to textured black
« on: November 02 2022, 07:36:33 PM »
I am thinking about re painting my air dam from dark red metallic to the same color as the stock air dams. Was thinking it would look better. Do you think this color is a good match for the stock air dams? Anyone?
Obviously I won't use rust-oleum but thinking that the stock dams are textured black...... Look at the cap color.
I took some pics in the sun and the air dam does not match the body. So 2 choices correct body paint or textured black.
