Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
tires ...3 had 13 lbs, 1 had 15 lbs. Means nothing but it is fun stuff for me since the orig owner and has brothers all swear they never added air to the tires. I brought them up to about 28 lbs and even sniffed some of that 1970 air.

[ QUOTE ] . [/ QUOTE ] I may be insane but... Is that a remnant of a wax blob...indicating where the weight went? [/ QUOTE ] Actually, grease paint, but yes, that is the mark that was determined to place the wheel weight. I work in the paint shop at the Ford KC plant as a supplier. A few years back, we had some warranty issues with yellow spot on units. Started to do some backtracking and the grease paint (using yellow titanium dioxide) was being applied too heavy and was flinging off the wheels as it was going thought its 'road test'. The paint, although cured, was still fresh and getting stained. We saw staining from storage additives from gasoline too. I saw a question about the sequence number... I heard someone tell it a while back and I know it holds true today. When we have a issue with a unit in the plant, we always refer to it by the 4 digit sequence number. Mind you, there are 7 digits in the sequence, but we only use 4 because a unit a sequence number 10000 old should not be in the plant!! i.e.-- 204 8647 would be yelled out as sequence # 8647.
