Perfect!!!! That's what I remember! The only issue is, I think I remember them on Goodyear tires also. Perhaps GM had the tire manufacturers print that on the tires? I was hoping to see UDDL for one manufacturer and something else for another. It kinda blows a hole in my theory.

I know for at least 1977, a tire code on the broadcast sheet would be all encompassing for all GM suppliers, such as Goodyear, BFG, General, Firestone. As long as it was a "GM Spec radial tire". The size and if it was a raised white letter or not would mean a different code.

In the last 10 days since the Formula arrived, Dan has gone through the brakes front to back, rebuilt the original carb, installed new fuel pump and lines, installed new timing chain set, changed to oil & filter, checked the M40 (fluid clean and not burnt), checked the suspension...all original and still tight (!) and got it to run and drive (garage to garage). Next on the to-do list is to go through the electrical and wiring looms.
Had fun bleeding the brakes and then throwing on some F70 whitewalls on 14x7 steel wheels & dog dishes just for yucks. Kinda has that 70's vibe where whitewalls were still popular and common to see on musclecars. Dennis |

A special shout-out goes to Paul Kilker for alerting us to the car being available early that Saturday morning after Thanksgiving.
THANK YOU PAUL!!! If he didn't let us know, we certainly wouldn't have it now. Dennis & Dan |

Dennis;
I have had real trouble figuring out the actual shape of the fuel lines on these cars; It appears as though there are several reproductions which work with the deep cannister fuel pump, but no clear understanding of how the fuel lines ran veruss the repop lines. Do you have pictures of the routing of the original line? Did the repop you buy match the routing or deviate? Who's line, and which one did you buy? Thanks for humouring me

Jonny, I misspoke regarding the fuel pump. We actually had (luckily) and used an original intact '70 4-bbl w/ deep cannister fuel line (not a reproduction) and slightly bent the lower connection fitting to the '71-upo fuel pump. I almost had it right
