[TPR] Radiator, wheels, tires (e: Intake manifold photos)

[David in Durango]

IMO, that is a bogus ruling on the 9" wheels.  They only rub at maximum 
lock, not during a SSSC run!  If they rub at speed you are having other 
problems (full steering lock over 100mph doesn't sound like fun!)

guess I'd better get mine junk back together before Asa Jay????  I'm in the 
slippery slope mode - everytime I look at it or think about it I have a 
"this should be fixed" moment!  I'll never buy another polished goodie for 
any car . . . .

Good luck! (let us know how you like the sumitomo tires?)
