RE: '64 Chrysler Questions



Your car sounds nice. I like the '64 Chryslers. What headers did you 
try? I'm sure there are Schumacher headers that would fit and TTI's. I 
thiknk the Schumachers may be better for a driver than TTI's. Apparently 
they don't encapsulate the starter like the TTI's requiring a 
mini-starter. My rear wheels are 15X8 with 4.5" backspace and 
P255/60SR15 BFG TA's. I'm using 15X7's on front with 4.5" spacing and 
P215/70SR15 BFG TA's. My wheels are cheapy Pacer Rallye's but they look 
decent and work fine. I have little dog dish caps on them. Up front I 
did the disc brake kit and poly/graphite bushings, etc from the 
Performance Suspension outfit in Phoenix, AZ. I think the Scat Bird 
thing would work well for you and be cheaper to do.

Good luck and enjoy your car.
