The 15x7 Rally II Wheels that were produced without trim rings from '70 thru '72 were stamped with JW, KN, and KR codes. The '70 and '71's came without trim rings and the '72 KR's came standard with trim rings. Trims Ring were optional '70 and '71, but most cars were delivered without them.

Cough, err, bump, or ...... Question on spark plug heat range #.
What are you all running? 45, 44 or 43 ? (AC Delco)

44 was recommended on an older thread I searched and bumped up recently, but I wanted to ask here as well, any input is appreciated.

with this gas you can easily run a 43. 44 is fine, 45 is just not needed and too hot. ( may be good for a drag run )

Actually, I would go the opposite way.

44 is good, 45 if engine is used or needs to burn some oil off plugs.
43 would be if used for high performance.

looks good from a distance, but pictures ask as many questions as they answer.
wrong spoiler ends
wrong scoop base
73 seat belt retainer over the doors
wrong fenders
just the easy stuff to see in a couple quick minutes.

Is that a Mopar dual snorkle air cleaner?
Appears to at least have a nice fat style steering wheel.

No sign of a build sheet OR PHS & NO mention of ANY drivetrain component being original/numbers match...

Engine has Edeltork intake & dealer installed tubular headers...

Interior comes off OK(as the whole car does...) but IS a hodgepodge of different years.

77 custom door panels with black fuzzy inserts...

79 steering wheel...

Gauge bezel appears to be 1970 non-A/C but car HAS A/C...

No stitching on the rear armrest panels...

Paint color looks a bit OFF (purpleish) on MY monitor

possibly another 455HO, would be nice if they posted the PHS to see if it's a HO/Ram Air car. Seems like I've seen it before but I can't quite place it?

Nice looking car.

I'd say it's a D port engine,just smells like an iron intake in the pics...

'nother special order paint W66? (I wonder?)

DON'T like the Parts Place steering wheel,it sticks out like a SORE thumb...don't know WHY they always have to take off the NICE stock wheel.

WTF is that where the radio should be....?

The worst mistake is the 79-81 rubber spoiler ends. If they do that I can't imagine what else they are capable of.
